Description
The 1960 Proof Roosevelt Dime is a proof dime struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Roosevelt Silver Dimes 1946-1964 series. The Philadelphia Mint struck 1,691,602 proof dimes dated 1960. 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. Minted during the post-war economic boom, the final era of silver circulating coinage in the United States before the Coinage Act of 1965. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Estimated market value is approximately $167. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 2.5 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5235.
