1948-D 10C, FB

Description

1948-D Roosevelt Dime, FB, PCGS MS68. This exceptional 1948-D dime represents a remarkable find within the Roosevelt Dime series. Struck at the Denver Mint during a year of substantial production, this example has achieved the coveted MS68 grade from PCGS, placing it in extraordinarily rare company. With a certificate number of 46139216, this coin exhibits the sharp strike and lustrous surfaces characteristic of premium quality specimens from this era. The FB designation indicates full bands on the reverse torch, a key strike characteristic that appeals to advanced Roosevelt Dime collectors. While the 1948-D boasts a generous mintage of over 52 million coins, finding examples in high uncirculated grades becomes increasingly challenging. This particular specimen stands among the finest known, with only one example graded higher by PCGS across a population of just 19 total graded coins. The dramatic scarcity at this level makes it a significant acquisition opportunity for serious collectors. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this dime retains its original luster and eye appeal. The combination of exceptional grade, full bands designation, and extreme rarity at the MS68 level makes this an important offering for those seeking top-tier examples of this popular series. Collectors pursuing high-grade Roosevelt Dimes will recognize the significance of securing a specimen this fine.
