A classic and affordable way to build your constitutional silver stack, each lot contains 10 genuine 90% silver Roosevelt Dimes, totaling $1.00 in face value. The Roosevelt Dime was introduced in 1946, shortly after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver John R. Sinnock, the coin honors Roosevelt and his close association with the March of Dimes and the fight against polio. The dimes offered in this listing are the 90% silver issues struck from 1946 through 1964. Beginning in 1965, circulating Roosevelt Dimes were changed to a copper-nickel clad composition. Why Stack Roosevelt Dimes? For stackers focused primarily on silver, Roosevelt Dimes are one of the most practical forms of U.S. constitutional silver. Compared with older Mercury or Barber Dimes, circulated Roosevelts generally carry lower collector premiums, allowing more of your purchase price to go toward the silver itself. Their small denomination also makes them highly divisible. Rather than having an entire ounce of silver concentrated in a single coin or round, each dime provides approximately 0.0723 troy oz of silver at original mint weight.
