With a mintage of 1,750,244 pieces, this dime is relatively common among proof coins from this year. The coin is composed of a copper-nickel clad copper, which gives it its distinctive appearance. It has a diameter of 17.9 mm and weighs 2.27 grams. The Roosevelt Dime, introduced in 1946, honors President Franklin D. Roosevelt and features a profile of him on the obverse. As a proof coin minted in San Francisco, it is characterized by its shiny, mirror-like finish and well-defined details. These elements make it an attractive piece for collectors. While the Roosevelt Dimes are not regarded as high-value coins, the specific proof issue from 1996 may carry a premium for collectors, potentially reaching values of around $3 to $10, depending on its condition and whether it is housed in an official protective holder.
