The coin in question is a 1974 Roosevelt Dime, minted in the United States. This particular dime is noteworthy as it is a Proof coin, which means it was specially struck for collectors, providing a mirror-like finish and sharp detail. The coin features the Roosevelt design, which was first introduced in 1946 in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This dime has a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel over a pure copper core, and it measures 17.9 mm in diameter. It has a unique mintage of 2,612,568 pieces, setting it apart in terms of rarity among other dimes from the same year. The coin does not carry a mint mark, indicating that it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, which typically does not use mint marks for proof coins. The edge type is also noted as "N/A," which is common for these types, as they typically do not have any inscriptions. In terms of its value, a 1974 Roosevelt Dime in Proof condition could be worth more than its face value of 10 cents, depending on factors such as demand among collectors, overall condition, and market trends. Given its uniqueness and collector interest, this coin represents a blend of both historical significance and numismatic value.
