1966 Roosevelt Dime BU (SMS)
The 1966 Roosevelt dime represents a fascinating moment in modern United States coinage. Struck in copper, this particular issue comes from the Special Mint Set (SMS) era, presenting a crisp and distinct appearance. The obverse of the coin features the familiar left-facing profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a design that has graced the ten-cent piece for decades. Accompanying the portrait are the traditional inscriptions of LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, along with the 1966 date. On the reverse, the coin displays a powerful trio of symbols arranged from left to right: an olive branch representing peace, a central lit torch symbolizing liberty, and an oak branch signifying strength and independence. Intertwined with these elements is the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, alongside the dual inscriptions declaring the issuing nation as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the face value of ONE DIME.
