Add an early modern proof to your collection with this 1968-S Roosevelt Dime, certified PR69 by PCGS. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin is part of the first years when proof coin production resumed in San Francisco after a brief hiatus in the mid-1960s.
Graded PR69, this coin is considered near-perfect, showcasing sharp detail, smooth surfaces, and brilliant mirror-like fields with only the slightest imperfections visible under magnification. While not designated Cameo or Deep Cameo, it still offers excellent eye appeal and strong reflective qualities.
The year 1968 marks an important moment in U.S. numismatic history, as the Mint reintroduced proof sets and began striking them exclusively in San Francisco. This makes early proof issues like this especially appealing to collectors seeking historically significant coins from the post-silver transition era.
Encapsulated and authenticated by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), this coin provides confidence, protection, and long-term collectible value.
