Description

1964-D Roosevelt Dime, NGC MS-68. This exceptional 1964-D Roosevelt Dime represents an outstanding example of late-date Mercury coinage, certified and graded MS-68 by NGC (Certificate #6682994001). The Denver Mint issue from this final year of the 90% silver composition demonstrates remarkable preservation, with lustrous surfaces and sharp strike detail throughout. The coin exhibits the bright, original mint luster characteristic of well-preserved specimens from this era. The 1964-D dime is notably significant as the final year of silver composition before the transition to copper-nickel clad coinage in 1965. High-grade examples, particularly those graded MS-68, are increasingly difficult to locate as many specimens from this period have experienced wear or oxidation over the decades. This certified example's superior condition makes it particularly desirable for both type collectors seeking quality representatives of the Roosevelt dime series and silver content collectors. With a strong starting bid reflecting the premium associated with this grade and date combination, this lot represents a significant opportunity to acquire a premium example of an important transitional issue in United States coinage history.
