1968-S Roosevelt Dime Gem Proof
The 1968-S Roosevelt Dime stands as a remarkable example of modern American proof coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this copper-nickel clad coin features the distinct 'S' mint mark on its obverse, signifying its special proof status and origin. The coin's surfaces display the sharp, high-contrast details characteristic of the Gem Proof designation, making it a captivating piece for study. On the obverse, the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt faces left, accompanied by the legible inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, along with the 1968 year of issue and the designer's initials JS. The reverse presents a powerful trio of symbols: an olive branch representing peace, a central lit torch symbolizing liberty, and an oak branch signifying strength and independence. These elements are flanked by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE DIME, and the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM.
