The 1948 Roosevelt Dime is a piece of US history, minted just after WWII.
Made of 90% silver, its value exceeds its face value due to the precious metal content.
Uncirculated dimes or those with an 'S' mintmark are particularly sought after by collectors.
Condition is key; 'Full Bands' on the torch indicate a well-struck, high-value coin.
1948 dimes without mintmarks were struck in Philadelphia, adding to their collectibility.
Auction prices can range from a few dollars to over a thousand for pristine examples.
Special sets, like proof coins, can command higher prices due to their rarity.
Always verify authenticity and grading with a professional to ensure true value.
Consider the historical context; this dime marks the beginning of the Cold War era.
