Description

The 2008 (P) Satin Finish Roosevelt Dime is a special strike dime struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Roosevelt Dimes Clad and Silver Proof 1965 to Date series. With a mintage of 745,464, this is an extremely rare issue — the lowest mintage among 6 mint variants, representing only less than 1% 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. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Auction record: $40 SP68 07-19-2019 eBay. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 2.27 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #394927.
