The proof issues of the Roosevelt dim series have been minted from 1950 to present. The set, without varieties, is easy and affordable to assemble in high grade. A great entry-level project for those interested in 10-cent pieces.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Franklin Roosevelt with the word LIBERTY at the left periphery. IN GOD WE TRUST written horizontally at 7 o'clock left of the portrait. The date is positioned to the right of Franklin's neck.
Reverse Description
Torch of Liberty is flanked by olive branches in the center with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DIME around the circumference.

Edge: Reeded. Mints: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, West Point.
Key to Collecting: Roosevelt dimes were first issued in 1946 from dies by Chief Engraver John R. Sinnock. Although the motif was not highly acclaimed when it was released, perhaps as the classic “Mercury” dime was a favorite, the new Roosevelt dimes became widely collected. From this point until the alloy was changed after 1965, production took place at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints.
In 1955, when it was announced that the San Francisco Mint would cease coinage, perhaps forever, the Lincoln cents and Roosevelt dimes of 1955-S became wildly popular in numismatic circles, and many were saved.
Circulated coins are very common but not relevant for type set purposes as Mint State and Proof coins are plentiful and inexpensive. Today, a run of date and mintmark varieties contains no rarities, although the 1949, 1949-S, and 1950-S are considered somewhat scarce in the context of the series. Proofs in silver have been struck at the San Francisco Mint from 1992 to date and can be considered as belonging to this type, as can the 2015 silver Proof struck at West Point.
Aspects of Striking and Appearance: Fortunately (some might say), not much attention has been paid to which little features may or may not be sharply struck. Points to check include the high parts of the hair (not well defined in the design to begin with) and the high parts of the torch and the leaves.
