Description
The 1950 (S) Roosevelt Dime is a dime produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Roosevelt Silver Dimes 1946-1964 series. With a mintage of 20.4 million, this is a less common issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 17% 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 official proof sets at the San Francisco Mint; Roosevelt Dime proofs begin. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $7 to $73 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 #5096.
