The 1972 D Roosevelt Dime is a highly sought-after error coin minted in Denver. This dime features the familiar bust of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse side, designed by John R. Sinnock. Roosevelt is depicted facing left, with the inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" above his head, "LIBERTY" to his left, and the date "1972" with the mint mark "D" (for Denver) to the right.
The reverse side showcases a torch flanked by an olive branch and an oak branch, symbolizing liberty and victory. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are prominently displayed above the torch, with "ONE DIME" at the bottom.
This particular 1972 D Roosevelt Dime is notable for its Doubled Die Obverse (DDO) error, which results in a dramatic doubling of the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY," as well as the date "1972." Additionally, it features a rim error, where the coin's edge is misaligned, creating a visible defect.
Collectors highly prize this coin for its rarity and historical significance. The DDO and rim error combination significantly enhances its value and desirability among enthusiasts. Don't miss the chance to add this rare error coin to your collection.
