2015 P Roosevelt Dime - What Kind of Doubling is This?

    There seems to be a very strong doubling that's far removed from the date. What's more pronounced is to the southeast of the "5" digit, where there's a relief in the same exact shape as the bottom of a "5". Below the middle of the 5 is a faint notched doubling, possibly in relief.

    Is it coincidentally a die crack, or is it doubled die? Or is it just die deterioration doubling on the other numbers and something else going on with the doubled 5? If it's just a die crack, it must be rarer than a doubled die to have it be in the same shape as the curve on the 5 numeral... right? :p

    And, there's also a dot on Roosevelt's hair - die crack I take it.

    Thanks in advance!

    Die deterioration as evidenced by all of the field mess. Probably also a little chatter going on from not adjusting properly.

    Yeah I figured, I thought I'd ask just in case there was a slim chance that it could be something more special, since that doubling on the "5" has a sharp relief. Thanks!

    As usual for Philly, work the dies to death they do.
