Type: Roosevelt Dime, Type 1, Silver (1946-1964) Designer: John R. Sinnock Content: 90% silver 10% copper Weight: 2.50 grams Diameter: 17.90 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 61,043,500 General Type Description: Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of America's most popular and influential Presidents. Following his death in 1945, his portrait was placed on the Dime in 1946; replacing the Mercury Head Dime. The designs, by John R. Sinnock, whose initials "JS" appear below the tip of Roosevelt's bust on the obverse of the coins, supported the on-going trend toward placing historical figures on U.S. coins in place of allegorical figures of Liberty. The new Dime proved to be very popular and the mintage for the first year set a new record for the denomination. Some collectors seek out Roosevelt Dimes that show a strong strike and split bands on the torch (similar to the "Split Bands" on the Mercury Head Dimes). "Full Band" Roosevelt Dimes represent a small portion of the surviving population and they are highly prized by specialist, especially on those dates which are known for being poorly struck. (Source: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: This is the first year of issue for the Roosevelt Dime series and from the Denver Mint Roosevelt Dimes. This year has a significantly large mintage and coins of this date and mint mark are fairly common. Only in Grades of MS66 do they become somewhat scarce with a several thousand examples available. In MS67 they become very scarce with a couple hundred examples known and none being finer. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime. PCGS CoinFacts). Exemplar Notes: This is a fully struck piece showing mottled and iridescent hues of pastel olive, mint-green, and rose patina across immaculately preserved surfaces. Acquired 6/2014 via Heritage.
