The coin in question is a Roosevelt Dime minted in Philadelphia in the year 1966. As a denomination of $5, it features the work of designer John R. Sinnock. This particular coin has a diameter of 17.9 millimeters and a weight of 2.27 grams. It is made from a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel, encasing a pure copper center, which is a typical standard for dimes of this era. The edge of the coin is reeded, which adds texture and helps prevent counterfeiting. With a mintage of only 2,260,000, this coin is considered a special production, making it somewhat rare among its peers. Although it lacks a mintmark, which indicates it was directly produced in Philadelphia, its scarcity may enhance its desirability among collectors. Overall, this 1966 Roosevelt Dime represents a unique piece of American numismatic history, reflecting both the craftsmanship of its time and the enduring legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
