Description

# 1948-D Roosevelt Dime PCGS MS-68 FB. An exceptional Full Bands (FB) example of this mid-20th century silver dime, struck at the Denver Mint during a prolific production year. This PCGS MS-68 specimen represents the absolute pinnacle of preservation for the 1948-D Roosevelt Dime issue, with extraordinary eye appeal and technical quality. The coin showcases remarkable full striking detail with pristine Full Bands designation, indicating sharp, unbroken horizontal bands on the reverse torch design. With a population of just 17 coins graded at this level, and only a single coin known at a higher grade, this represents an extraordinary opportunity for the advanced Roosevelt Dime collector. The 90% silver composition and precise Denver Mint striking contribute to its exceptional preservation. From the John R. Sinnock designed Roosevelt Dime series (1946-1964), this specimen emerged from a substantial mintage of 52,841,000 coins. Despite the large original production, gem quality examples remain extremely rare. The coin exhibits pristine silvery-white surfaces with exceptional mint luster and extraordinary technical precision, hallmarks of a truly exceptional numismatic treasure.
