1950 Proof Roosevelt Dime

The 1950 Proof Roosevelt Dime represents the first proof coin issued for the series. It also has the lowest mintage for a proof coin for the entire series at 51,386 pieces. The coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and sold to collectors as part of a complete 1950 Proof Set for an original issue price of $2.10.

The coins remain relatively available today, although examples displaying cameo contrast are more difficult to find. Coins which have received the Deep Cameo or Ultra Cameo designation from PCGS or NGC are especially scarce, and in high demand.
