1968-S (San Francisco) Roosevelt Dimes

Coin / United States of America / 10¢ (Ten Cents, Dime) / Roosevelt Dimes / 1968 / San Francisco

This 1968 Roosevelt Dime is a notable coin within the United States currency series, attributable to its unique characteristics and production details. Minted in San Francisco, this coin features the 'S' mint mark, indicating its origin from that specific mint facility. As a Proof coin, it was specially produced with a higher quality finish, making it particularly desirable for collectors. The Proof finish enhances the details and gives the coin a shiny, reflective surface, distinguishing it from standard coins. With a mintage of 3,041,506, this coin is relatively common among collectors, though its Proof variety adds to its appeal and value. This dime has a denomination of 10 cents and features a diameter of 17.9 mm and a weight of 2.27 grams. It is composed of copper-nickel clad copper, a material choice typical for U.S. dimes post-1965. The coin depicts President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse side and the national motto, "E Pluribus Unum," along with a olive branch, torch, and oak branch on the reverse side, symbolizing peace and strength. Overall, the 1968 San Francisco Proof Roosevelt Dime is a fine example of American numismatic craftsmanship and continues to hold significance among collectors and enthusiasts of U.S. coinage.
