1979-S Roosevelt Dime Type I Gem Proof
The 1979-S Roosevelt Dime stands as a refined example of modern United States coinage, struck with precision at the San Francisco Mint. As a proof issue, this coin was prepared using polished dies and planchets, resulting in a sharp, reflective finish that highlights the intricate details of the design. The San Francisco origin is officially marked by the letter S on the coin. On the obverse, the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt faces left. This side bears the inscriptions of liberty and trust that are central to American coinage, alongside the 1979 year of issue. The reverse side presents a trio of symbolic elements arranged from left to right: an olive branch representing peace, a central torch symbolizing liberty, and an oak branch signifying strength and independence. These elements are accompanied by the traditional national mottoes and the denomination of ten cents.
