This coin is a 1960 Roosevelt Dime, minted in Philadelphia, distinguished by its "P" mint mark. It is a proof coin, meaning it was struck with high-quality techniques to produce a sharp, reflective finish and was intended for collectors. The Roosevelt Dime has a diameter of 17.9 mm and a weight of 2.5 grams, composed of silver, which is characteristic of coins produced prior to 1965. With a mintage of 1,691,602 units, it is a notable addition to collections of American currency. The coin's denomination is 10 cents (also known as a dime), making it a lightweight yet significant piece in terms of both currency and numismatic value. As a product of the United States, this coin embodies a rich history and the legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose likeness adorns the obverse side, while the reverse features a design of a torch flanked by olive and oak branches, symbolizing liberty and peace. Collectors may find this proof Roosevelt Dime particularly appealing due to its limited mintage and the quality of its finish, contributing to its overall value in the numismatic market.
