1964 Roosevelt Dime. MS-67+ FB (PCGS).

Vivid steel-gray, cobalt blue and antique gold iridescence greets the viewer from both sides of this exquisite Superb Gem. As specialists in modern U.S. Mint coinage know all too well, the high mintage circulation strikes from the early 1960s are notoriously difficult to locate with both sharp striking detail and expert surface preservation. These were workhorse issues that the mints churned out in vast numbers with little regard for quality control, either during striking or immediately thereafter. Among survivors of the Philadelphia Mint's 1964 dime mintage of nearly 1 billion (!) coins, precious few can either match or exceed the present example in terms of technical quality or eye appeal. The strongest bids are encouraged for those seeking to acquire this awesome strike and condition rarity Roosevelt dime.
