Description

# 1949 Roosevelt Dime 10C PCGS MS67 FB - Pristine Philadelphia Strike. A remarkable gem-quality example of this mid-20th century Roosevelt dime, struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This *MS67 Full Bands* specimen represents the pinnacle of preservation for the issue, with exceptional mint state quality and remarkable technical details. The coin exhibits superb Full Bands (FB) designation, indicating crisp, complete horizontal and vertical torch bands on the reverse, a highly prized characteristic among advanced Roosevelt dime collectors. With a population of just 29 coins graded by PCGS at this level, and only 10 coins at higher grades, this represents a significant numismatic opportunity. The Philadelphia mintage of 30,940,000 pieces makes this a relatively available date, but examples of this caliber are decidedly scarce. Struck in the classic 90% silver composition, this dime features John R. Sinnock's iconic Roosevelt portrait, commemorating the wartime president. The pristine surfaces suggest exceptional striking quality and careful preservation, making this an extraordinary addition to a high-grade type or date set of mid-century American coinage. PCGS Certification: 31503818. Grade: MS67 FB. Mint: Philadelphia. Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper. Estimated Value: $800
