Description
Produced at the San Francisco Mint, the 1946 (S) Roosevelt Dime is part of the Roosevelt Silver Dimes 1946-1964 series. With a mintage of 27.9 million, this is a less common issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 8% of total production. The obverse features Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left, honoring the president who championed the March of Dimes and the reverse displays a torch flanked by olive and oak branches, symbolizing liberty, peace, and strength. First year of the Roosevelt Dime, honoring the recently deceased president. Struck at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. San Francisco's storied mint, born of the California Gold Rush, has evolved into the primary producer of U.S. proof coins. Estimated market value ranges from $7 to $30 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 2.5 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5084.
