This coin is a 1961 Roosevelt Dime minted in Philadelphia, identified by the mint mark 'P.' Representing a denomination of ten cents, it is part of the Roosevelt Dime series, which honors President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The coin is made of silver, contributing to its intrinsic value, and it was produced with a proof finish, which means it was struck with higher standards of cleanliness and detail, resulting in a sharp, frosted image and mirror-like background. The coin has a diameter of 17.9 mm and a weight of 2.5 grams, typical for dimes. With a total mintage of 3,028,244, this particular piece is a collectible item, especially for those interested in proof coins or the Roosevelt Dime series. As a U.S. coin, it is part of the broader numismatic heritage of the United States and is favored by both collectors and enthusiasts for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. Due to its proof status and the silver composition, this 1961 Roosevelt Dime may carry a higher value than its face value of 10 cents, making it a desirable addition to any coin collection.
