1967 Roosevelt Dime

This is a 1967 United States Roosevelt Dime, appearing as a standard circulating specimen. The coin's obverse features the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left. Above the bust is the word 'LIBERTY,' and to the bottom left is the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST.' To the right of the base of the neck, the year '1967' is clearly struck. This specific year does not feature a mint mark, as the U.S. Mint removed mint marks from all coinage between 1965 and 1967 to discourage hoarding during a coin shortage. Physically, the coin is composed of a copper-nickel clad composition (75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper core) with a diameter of 17.9 mm and a weight of approximately 2.27 grams. The strike appears standard for the era, with visible wear across the high points of Roosevelt's hair and facial features, suggesting a grade in the 'Circulated' range (likely Fine to Very Fine). The surfaces exhibit a duller patina typical of copper-nickel composition that has been in circulation, with minor surface contact marks and light toning visible. There are no immediate signs of major structural damage, such as bending or deep gouges, though the rim shows minor evidence of handling. The craftsmanship represents high-volume industrial minting from the late 1960s.
