The coin in question is a Roosevelt Dime minted in 1946 at the San Francisco Mint, identifiable by its "S" mint mark. This dime is part of the United States currency series and possesses a denomination of 10 cents, or a dime. It was produced with a mint strike, reflecting its status as a standard circulation coin. This particular dime has a diameter of 17.9 millimeters and weighs 2.5 grams, both typical for this denomination. The composition of the coin is silver, which adds to its allure for collectors, especially since the years following 1964 saw a shift to a copper-nickel composition. The 1946 San Francisco Roosevelt Dime has a mintage of 27,900,000 pieces, which places it among the more commonly circulated dimes of its time. Despite its relatively high mintage, its silver content and historical significance as one of the earliest issues following World War II contribute to its appeal for both numismatists and general collectors alike. The coin effectively symbolizes a period of renewal in American history after the war, and it remains a popular item for those interested in collecting U.S. coins.
