1979-D Roosevelt Dime BU
The 1979 Roosevelt dime struck at the Denver Mint offers a crisp look at one of America's most enduring coin designs. This copper-nickel clad piece, preserved in brilliant uncirculated condition, showcases the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse. Accompanying his portrait are the traditional inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year of issue, 1979. Turning the coin over reveals a rich trio of symbolic elements. The reverse design features an olive branch on the left, a central lit torch, and an oak branch on the right. These elements represent peace, liberty, and strength. The Denver Mint's contribution is noted by the distinct "D" mint mark, making this ten-cent piece a fascinating study in late twentieth-century American coinage.
