Description
The 1950 (S) Roosevelt Dime represents a San Francisco Mint issue from the Roosevelt Silver Dimes 1946-1964 series. The San Francisco Mint struck 20,440,000 dimes dated 1950. 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.
