The Roosevelt Dime Roll 2001-S Silver Proof is a significant piece of American numismatic history, representing the continued legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Introduced in 1946 shortly after Roosevelt's death, the Roosevelt dime was designed as a tribute to his contributions during the Great Depression and World War II. This coin symbolizes resilience and hope, reflecting the spirit of an era that shaped the nation. The 2001-S Silver Proof variant is particularly noteworthy due to its composition, which includes a higher silver content compared to regular dimes, adding to its allure among collectors and enthusiasts.
The obverse of the 2001-S Silver Proof dime features a meticulously crafted portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, designed by engraver John R. Sinnock. The image captures Roosevelt’s determined expression, with strong features that convey his leadership qualities. Surrounding the bust are the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year “2001.” The use of the silver material enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the coin, as it shines beautifully under light, emphasizing the intricate details of the design. The proof finish adds to the quality, creating a contrast between the frosted relief of the portrait and the highly polished background, resulting in a visually striking coin.
