The coin in question is a 1977 Roosevelt Dime, a denomination of 10 cents produced in the United States of America. This specific example is a proof coin, characterized by its high-quality finish and reflectivity, intended for collectors rather than general circulation. Crafted with a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel over a pure copper center, the coin features a diameter of 17.9 mm. With a mintage of 3,251,152 pieces, the 1977 proof Roosevelt Dime is notable for its striking detail and clarity, making it a popular choice among numismatists. Its design, although not explicitly attributed to a particular designer in this instance, typically showcases the portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse side, while the reverse features a torch flanked by an olive branch and a branch of oak, symbolizing freedom and peace. Since this dime lacks a mint mark, it is believed to be produced at the Philadelphia Mint. Although specific weight and width details are noted as unavailable, its standard specifications are well-recognized in the realm of US coinage. Overall, this coin represents a significant piece of American history and is valued among collectors for both its craftsmanship and historical significance.
