This is a 1995 Roosevelt Dime, a ten-cent coin produced by the United States Mint. Minted in San Francisco, it features the "S" mint mark, indicating its origin. The coin is part of the Roosevelt Dimes series and was produced as a proof coin, which means it was struck using a special process to create a high-quality, mirror-like finish intended for collectors. Measuring 17.9 mm in diameter and weighing 2.27 grams, this dime is made from copper-nickel clad copper. The mintage for this particular coin was 2,010,384, making it a relatively common issue among collectors, yet still a notable piece due to its proof finish. As a representation of U.S. currency, this dime is marked with the denomination of 10¢ (ten cents) and is a beautiful example of American numismatic art reflecting both quality craftsmanship and historical significance. The Roosevelt Dime series honors President Franklin D. Roosevelt, featuring his profile on the obverse, while the reverse showcases a torch flanked by olive branches and a laurel branch, symbolizing liberty and peace. This specific 1995 proof version is a lovely addition to any coin collection, appreciated for its design and historical relevance.
