- 1977-D Roosevelt Dime--Obverse Die Cap--MS-69 (NGC). An outstanding Gem obverse die cap, and full reverse brockage, though the brockage error was not identified on the NGC holder. Bold obverse detail, as expected, with a raised rim around creating a shallow cup. The rim is about 3 mm high, and nicely frames the design within. Superb luster, with such extreme stretching of the metal that areas seem almost prooflike. Close inspection in the areas around Roosevelt's portrait show artifacts of the multiple strikes, with at least three impressions of the dies clearly evident. The reverse has a distinctive satin texture over much of the surface. At the center, an impression of Roosevelt's ear is noted, this coming from the reverse brockage, where this coin was struck into a finished coin's obverse, fully centered. This occurred in an early strike among the multiple strikes that created this error, and most design elements from this brockage have been obliterated. However, around the rim there are some relatively sharp artifacts of the brockage including a date and mintmark. A great-looking error in extraordinary grade.
