Die clash visible on both sides, with a die crack thru IGWT to FDR's chin (thin at times), and of course with die chips as well

I cross-referenced this using the overlays at maddieclashes, but the ear features aren't in the color mapping

The feature on the brim of his ear may be a die chip, but the shape/position had me suspicious it was from the clash as well.

My awful full-coin shot (coin scope is aging poorly):

Die crack from rim, thru IGWT, to chin:

Very small protrusions of a Leaf & "L" in front of face:

Leaf visible incuse below and raised within FDR's ear, and the stem/branch visible raised on the brim of his ear:

Profile visible behind left branch and continuing onto the leaves:

Cheek/jawline visible between leaf & top left of torch, and the jaw to neck gradient is visible in the field to the right:
2025-P-Roosevelt-Dime-Obv./Rev.-Die-Clash-&-Crack

FDR's ear is visible above and below the leaf to the right:

Nice find! Die Deterioration (perhaps a smidge of Machine Doubling?) may be present as well.

Thank you, everyone!

ijn1944, indeed, my thought was Die Deterioration Doubling (and these new digital dies in general induce worthless doubling of their own all too often...)

I'm new to the group. Just joined in fact. I have about 30 2025 P dimes that I think have die crack. Can you tell me what you think. Behind the head about 1 to 2 oclock. Also there are the raised blobs on the face and some have what look like gear gouges. Thank you for any replies. These are the best images I can get so far.
