Description
The 1964 SMS Roosevelt Dime is a special strike dime struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Roosevelt Silver Dimes 1946-1964 series. With a mintage of 4.0 million, this is an extremely rare issue — the lowest mintage among 4 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. The final year of 90% silver dime production before the Coinage Act of 1965 changed the composition to clad. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Auction record: $10,200 SP66 04-28-2019 Heritage Auctions. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 2.5 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5220.
