1978-D Roosevelt Dime BU
The 1978-D Roosevelt dime represents a classic era of modern United States coinage. Struck at the Denver Mint, this ten-cent piece is composed of a copper-nickel blend rather than precious silver, representing the standard circulating alloy of the late twentieth century. This particular specimen is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, retaining its original luster and sharp details just as it appeared when it first left the coining press. Following the conclusion of the Mercury Dime series, the United States Mint introduced this design to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The obverse displays a profile portrait of the president, accompanied by the inscriptions of "LIBERTY" and the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST", alongside the 1978 year of manufacture and the "D" mint mark representing Denver. The reverse features a torch flanked by an olive branch and an oak branch, symbolizing peace and strength, with the legends "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "ONE DIME" anchoring the design.
