This listing is for one Roosevelt Silver dime from the 1960's (Choose by date, mint and circulation), examples pictured.
The Roosevelt dime is the current dime of the United States. Struck by the United States Mint continuously since 1946, it displays President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and was authorized soon after his death in 1945.
Roosevelt had been stricken with polio, and was one of the moving forces of the March of Dimes. The ten-cent coin could be changed by the Mint without the need for congressional action, and officials moved quickly to replace the Mercury dime. Chief Engraver John R. Sinnock prepared models, but faced repeated criticism from the Commission of Fine Arts. He modified his design in response, and the coin went into circulation in January 1946.
1/10 ounce of silver. This also makes for a very cool component to a piece of jewelry, and makes a great gift as is, or an excellent addition to a collection!
