Description

The 2005 (D) Satin Finish Roosevelt Dime is a special strike dime struck at the Denver Mint, part of the Roosevelt Dimes Clad and Silver Proof 1965 to Date series. With a mintage of 1.2 million, this is an extremely rare issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 0% of 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 Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Auction record: $76 SP69 01-23-2019 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 #75212.
