Roosevelt Dime

1949-D Roosevelt Dime. MS-68 FB (PCGS).

A truly magnificently Ultra Gem toned in a blend of magenta, tangerine and emerald-green across both sides. Uniformly satiny and essentially untouched. The 1949-D is a notable anomaly in the Denver Mint issues, boasting the second lowest mintage from that facility across the entire series. With just 26 million pieces struck, the 1949-D was minted to less than half the quantity of dimes struck in Denver the year prior (52.8 mil). Today, the issue is scarce in the highest grades and PCGS has certified only 19 examples at the present MS-68 FB level with none finer.

PCGS# 85092. NGC ID: 23KV.

PCGS Population: 19; none finer.

Estimate: 1500
