1952-D 10C, FB

Description

1952-D Roosevelt Dime, Full Bands, NGC MS-68. This exceptional 1952-D dime represents a premium example of the Denver Mint's Roosevelt coinage from the early post-war era. The coin exhibits the coveted Full Bands (FB) designation, indicating sharp, complete striations across both the obverse and reverse—a challenging attribute to achieve on Roosevelt dimes of this vintage. The Denver Mint mark is clearly visible, confirming West Coast production during a period of significant American economic expansion. Graded NGC MS-68, this specimen displays outstanding luster and eye appeal consistent with gem-quality coinage. The strike is notably sharp, with excellent detail throughout the design elements. At this grade level, the coin represents the upper echelon of preservation for the date and mint mark combination, with only minimal imperfections visible under magnification. The Full Bands designation further enhances the numismatic significance, as this variety is particularly sought by specialized Roosevelt dime collectors. The 1952-D is a key date in the Roosevelt dime series, and examples in gem condition with Full Bands designation command strong collector demand. This piece would be an excellent addition to a high-quality Roosevelt dime collection or early post-war type set. NGC Certification #8523175009
