1968-S Roosevelt Dime (Weak Die Reverse)

I agree. Any difference in appearance is due to the difference in the magnitude of use that each has gone through, and not an original die variation.

Thanks for the feedback,

I was thinking about the possibility of the die being worn and it probably is. The metal flow to me doesn't make much sense (in my opinion). Take the leaves around the upper acorn for example. If their was wear, why would the metal form the acorn during the stamping process but not the rest of the leaves or at least leaves with little detail showing the wear? I'm not very experienced with errors and stuff but it seams a little weird. Wouldn't the metal flow into the shorter devices before filling in the taller devices. An example I think of is the upper set of oak leaves. The center leaf which is taller than the left and right has some decent detail. Wouldn't the right leaf have filled in fully showing poor worn lines which would have reduced the amount of Metal flowed into the center leaf?

Just spurring some discussion, in an attempt to learn as much as possible.

Here is a color picture of the reverse
