The coin is a 1997 Roosevelt Dime, a denomination of ten cents, minted at the San Francisco Mint (indicated by its 'S' mint mark). This particular piece is a proof coin, meaning it was specially produced to showcase high-quality striking and detail, primarily for collectors. The coin has a diameter of 17.9 mm and weighs 2.27 grams, made of a copper-nickel clad copper composition. With a limited mintage of 2,055,000 pieces, this Roosevelt Dime is part of the United States' well-regarded series known for honoring President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose image adorns the obverse side of the coin. Due to its proof status and relatively low mintage, this coin holds a greater appeal among collectors, enhancing its overall value beyond its face amount of ten cents. Given its attributes, it is a prime example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of U.S. coinage from this series.
