1972-S Roosevelt Dime Gem Proof
The 1972-S Roosevelt Dime stands as a beautiful example of modern United States coinage, minted in a proof format at the San Francisco Mint. Designed with a mirror-like finish, this ten-cent piece showcases the profile of the nation's 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, on its obverse. Legible inscriptions on this side include the word LIBERTY, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, the year 1972, and the distinctive S mint mark indicating its origin in San Francisco. Turning the coin over reveals a rich array of symbolic foliage and imagery. Positioned from left to right, the reverse displays an olive branch, a lit torch, and an oak branch. The Latin phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM is split across the design elements, while the outer inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination, ONE DIME. Unlike their San Francisco counterparts, proof dimes produced at the Philadelphia Mint during this era do not carry a mint mark, making the S on this particular issue a key point of identification for observers.
