The 90% Silver Proof Roosevelt Dimes Roll contains 50 dimes, each sparkling with the famous mirror finish collectors love. The dates included in this roll will be from 1961-1964. Proof dimes contain higher premiums due to their lack of accessibility because of their lower mintages. Minted every year since 1950, the Proof Roosevelt Dime contains 90% silver and has the investment appeal all collectors and investors are searching for.
Authorized by the Coinage Act of 1792, the dime is the smallest and thinnest coin in all of the US coins minted. Before the dime became official, there was a strong desire for a smaller denomination of the US dollar. The Seated Liberty dime was the first dime to contain 90% silver in its alloy structure; before that, the dime's silver content was slight below the 90% line. The Roosevelt dime is the most current design in US coinage. Its predecessors contain a list of draped bust dimes, capped bust dimes, Seated Liberty dimes, the Barber dime, which was named after the Chief Engraver of the US Mint, and the Mercury dime. President Franklin Roosevelt passed away in 1945 and sooner after, a legislation was introduced to update the dime's design and feature the beloved late president. By honoring Roosevelt, with a dime named after him, his efforts of funding the cure for polio would be remembered forever. Until 1965, the Roosevelt dime contained 90% silver, 10% copper.
