1981-S Roosevelt Dime Type II Gem Proof
The 1981-S Roosevelt Dime in Gem Proof condition stands as a fascinating specimen of modern American numismatics. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin features the distinctive 'S' mint mark, signifying its origin as a proof strike. This particular issue is highly regarded for its crisp details and polished appearance, characteristic of the proof manufacturing process. On the obverse, the coin displays the left-facing profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Surrounding his portrait are the classic inscriptions of 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST', alongside the 1981 year of issue. The initials 'JS' are also visible, representing the designer of the profile. The reverse of the dime presents a symbolic trio of elements arranged from left to right: an olive branch, a lit torch, and an oak branch. These motifs are framed by the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the denomination 'ONE DIME'. The traditional Latin motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' is also integrated into the reverse design, completing this classic piece of United States coinage.
