This $1 face value lot contains 10 Roosevelt Dimes, each minted in 1964 or earlier and struck in 90% silver. These coins are preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, showcasing their full mint luster, sharp detail, and no signs of wear. A standout option for collectors and investors, these BU Roosevelt Dimes offer both silver value and pristine presentation at an accessible price point.

Historical Insight:

First issued in 1946, the Roosevelt Dime replaced the Mercury Dime and became an enduring symbol of modern American coinage. While billions were produced, uncirculated 90% silver issues exist in far smaller quantities today. BU examples capture the original brilliance and detail intended by the U.S. Mint—making them an excellent addition to both type sets and silver holdings.
