1996-W Roosevelt Dime

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Roosevelt Dime, the United States Mint issued the 1996-W Roosevelt Dime. These coins were struck at the West Point Mint, included the “W” mint mark, and were only available as part of the 1996 Mint Set.

The 1996-W Roosevelt Dime has the lowest mintage of the series for a circulation strike, with only 1,457,000 coins produced. Individually, the coins are sold at a premium, which also carries over to complete 1996 Mint Sets, which contain the coin.

Higher grade examples are abundant since the coins were issued within US Mint packaged Mint Sets. Some examples have been graded as high as MS69. The coins are also sometimes found with proof like qualities.
