About this Product

Full Product Name

The coin everyone overlooks is the smallest modern issue 90% silver coin - the Roosevelt Dime. When people think of accumulating a little silver, most think of the larger Silver Eagle Dollar or Franklin/Kennedy Half Dollars ... but the VALUE today is in these hidden gems, with the best value in the highest quality coin struck each year - the proof!

90% Silver - the Rarest are the Proofs!

Prior to 1964 all dimes, quarters, and half dollars were struck out of 90% silver .. so the proof edition would be the same. The US Mint started striking 90% silver coinage again in 1992 for the same 3 denominations .. but this time not for circulation .. only as part of the Silver Proof Set. These Proof editions have always been significantly rarer than the regular issues ... over 2 Billon silver dimes were issued for circulation in 1964, with less than 4 million in proof.

This Silver Proof Roosevelt Dime is encapsulated for protection.
