It carries a denomination of 10 cents and is specifically classified as a proof coin, which means it was produced with a special minting process that results in a high-quality final product, typically intended for collectors. The coin features the iconic profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which is a hallmark of this series. It is crafted from copper-nickel clad copper, a standard material used for dimes, ensuring durability and a striking appearance. The diameter of the coin measures 17.9 mm, and it weighs 2.27 grams. With a mintage of 3,220,194, this 1989 proof Roosevelt Dime was created in relatively larger quantities compared to some other collectible coins, yet proof coins are generally sought after by numismatic enthusiasts for their quality and finish. The absence of specific width and height measurements typically denotes that it is uniform in form, aligning with standard dimes. Collectors appreciate coins like this not only for their design and historical significance but also for their collector value, reflected in the market where proof coins tend to hold premium prices over their face value. The 1989 Roosevelt Dime continues to be a cherished piece of American numismatic history.
