The coin in question is a 1978 Roosevelt Dime, which is a denomination of 10 cents in United States currency. This particular dime was produced as a Proof coin, a specialized type of coin intended for collectors that feature a mirror-like finish and higher quality strikes, enhancing their aesthetic appeal. The 1978 Roosevelt Dime has a diameter of 17.9 mm and is composed of a metal alloy made up of 75% Copper and 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center. Its design honors President Franklin D. Roosevelt, reflecting both his legacy and the artistry of American coinage. With a total mintage of 3,127,781, this dime is relatively common among collectors, although its Proof designation may make it more sought after in pristine condition. The absence of a mint mark on the coin indicates that it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint. Unfortunately, specific details such as weight and designer information are not available in this case, but this coin remains a notable example within the Roosevelt Dime series, representing a significant chapter in U.S. numismatic history. Collectors and enthusiasts value it for both its craftsmanship and its role in commemorating an influential American figure.
