1997-S Silver Roosevelt Dime Gem Proof
1997-S Silver Roosevelt Dime Gem Proof
The 1997-S Silver Roosevelt Dime stands as a beautiful example of modern United States coinage, struck in a fine composition of 90 percent silver. Produced at the San Francisco Mint, this coin contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal and displays the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its surface, indicating its origin of manufacture. The obverse of the coin features a detailed profile portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, facing left. This classic design is accompanied by the inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST," alongside the 1997 year of issue and the designer's initials, "JS". On the reverse, three symbolic elements are arranged from left to right: an olive branch representing peace, a central lighted torch symbolizing liberty, and an oak branch signifying strength and independence. The legends "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and the denomination "ONE DIME" encircle these powerful central images, creating a highly detailed and balanced design that is particularly striking in the Gem Proof finish.
