Description

# 1948-S Roosevelt Dime, PCGS MS-68 FB. A remarkable gem-quality example of this mid-century Roosevelt dime, featuring exceptional Full Bands (FB) designation from the San Francisco Mint. This premium specimen represents an extraordinary condition rarity within the 1946-1964 Roosevelt dime series. The PCGS MS-68 FB grade signifies a near-perfect coin with extraordinary mint luster, sharp striking details, and pristine surfaces. With an incredibly limited population of just 14 coins at this grade level, this example offers serious collectors a truly exceptional numismatic opportunity. The Full Bands designation indicates complete, sharp separation in the horizontal bands of the torch, highlighting superior striking quality and mint-state preservation. Struck during the early post-war era at the San Francisco Mint, this dime represents a significant period in American coinage history. The John R. Sinnock design captures the elegance of mid-20th century coin artistry, with crisp details and exceptional eye appeal. Composed of 90% silver, this coin also maintains substantial intrinsic metallic value beyond its numismatic significance.
