Roosevelt dimes struck between 1946 and 1964 represent the last era of United States circulating coinage produced with 90% silver composition. Each dime contains 0.07234 troy ounces of pure silver, and this listing covers $1 face value, which represents a roll of ten coins totaling 0.715 troy ounces of silver at .900 purity. Struck by the United States Mint, these coins carry legal tender status and are among the most widely recognized 90% silver issues in the American numismatic market.
We carry these coins in BU Proof condition, making them well-suited for buyers who want silver content paired with collector-grade surface quality. The $1 face value format is a familiar and practical unit for anyone accumulating 90% silver coinage in a structured way.
The Roosevelt dime was introduced in 1946, just months after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose close association with the March of Dimes charitable campaign made the ten-cent denomination a natural choice for his memorial portrait. The coin replaced the Mercury dime, which had been in production since 1916. Designer John R. Sinnoc
…Roosevelt dimes struck between 1946 and 1964 represent the last era of United States circulating coinage produced with 90% silver composition.

Struck by the United States Mint, these coins carry legal tender status and are among the most widely recognized 90% silver issues in the American numismatic market.
We carry these coins in BU Proof condition, making them well-suited for buyers who want silver content paired with collector-grade surface quality. The $1 face value format is a familiar and practical unit for anyone accumulating 90% silver coinage in a structured way.
The Roosevelt dime was introduced in 1946, just months after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose close association with the March of Dimes charitable campaign made the ten-cent denomination a natural choice for his memorial portrait. The coin replaced the Mercury dime, which had been in production since 1916. Designer John R. Sinnock created the portrait and reverse design that would carry through the entire 90% silver production run.
Silver production of the Roosevelt dime continued uninterrupted through 1964. The Coinage Act of 1965 eliminated silver from circulating dimes entirely, transitioning the denomination to a copper-nickel clad composition. This legislative change permanently closed the 90% silver chapter of the series, establishing a hard boundary that gives the 1946 to 1964 issues their lasting significance in the silver coin market.
The United States Mint produced these coins at three facilities during this period: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. Proof examples were produced exclusively at the San Francisco Mint and were struck using polished dies and specially prepared planchets, resulting in the sharper detail and reflective surfaces that distinguish them from their business strike counterparts.
The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt with "LIBERTY" arching above and "IN GOD WE TRUST" positioned to the left of the portrait. The date appears at the bottom of the obverse, and mint mark placement, when present, sits to the left of the torch on the reverse rather than on the obverse. The overall composition is clean and tightly structured, reflecting the design conventions of mid-century United States coinage.
The reverse presents a torch at center flanked by an olive branch on the left and an oak branch on the right. These elements symbolize liberty, peace, and strength respectively. The inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arches across the top, "E PLURIBUS UNUM" runs below it, and "ONE DIME" appears at the bottom. The design's symmetry and fine engraving are especially pronounced on Proof examples, where the contrast between frosted devices and mirror-like fields is most visible.
At 0.715 troy ounces of silver per $1 face value, Roosevelt dimes offer a highly granular format for building a silver position in small increments. The individual coin denomination of one dime, containing just over 0.072 troy ounces of pure silver, makes it one of the most divisible units available in the 90% silver market. This level of divisibility is particularly useful when transacting in smaller quantities or distributing holdings across multiple storage locations.
The dime format also remains one of the most liquid and immediately recognizable forms of 90% silver, partly because its face value, silver content, and date range are universally understood among coin dealers and collectors. Buyers who prioritize flexibility in how they hold and eventually move physical silver often find the dime format more practical than larger denominations.
Roosevelt dimes from this era were struck to strict United States Mint specifications, with each coin containing exactly 2.5 grams of metal at 90% silver and 10% copper. These standards were set by federal statute and applied uniformly across all production facilities during the 1946 to 1964 period. The consistency of minting standards makes these coins straightforward to verify and widely accepted in the market without additional certification.
We verify every product for authenticity, weight, and purity before it is made available through our platform. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC further reinforce our commitment to handling and presenting coins that meet established grading and authentication standards. For buyers interested in third-party grading on specific examples, those relationships provide a direct path to professional certification.
BU Proof condition in this context refers to coins that exhibit the defining characteristics of a Proof strike: sharp, well-defined design elements, mirror-like fields, and frosted or cameo devices on the higher-relief portions of the design. These coins were produced using specially polished dies and underwent multiple strikes to ensure depth of detail. BU Proof examples retain full mint luster without significant wear, making them appropriate for collectors who want coins with strong visual appeal alongside their silver content.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to preserve surface integrity during transit. A $1 face value roll of ten dimes typically ships in a standard coin tube. For larger quantities, coins are generally packaged in sealed boxes consistent with standard United States Mint packaging formats for 90% silver coinage. Packaging reflects the quantity ordered and is chosen to protect the coins throughout the shipping process.
Pricing for 90% silver Roosevelt dimes is tied directly to the spot price of silver, with the silver content of $1 face value calculated at 0.715 troy ounces per dollar. The premium above spot on junk silver dimes fluctuates based on market demand, available supply, and whether coins are in circulated or collectible condition. BU Proof examples typically carry a higher premium than circulated 90% silver due to their superior visual condition and collector appeal.
Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to provide clarity at the point of purchase. We display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers can evaluate both the cost to acquire and the expected resale value before committing. This transparency is central to how we approach pricing across all silver products, including 90% silver coinage where premium levels can shift quickly in response to wholesale market activity.
The 90% silver Roosevelt dime is among the most liquid forms of physical silver available in the United States market. The combination of government issuance, standardized silver content, and widespread recognition among dealers, collectors, and individual buyers creates consistent demand across a broad range of resale environments. The $1 face value unit is a universally understood increment that simplifies both pricing and transaction logistics.
We operate a two-way market that supports buying and selling within the same platform. Customers who decide to sell can do so at competitive buyback prices without having to navigate a separate resale process. Liquidity is something we believe should be factored into the purchase decision from the start, not treated as a secondary concern after the transaction is complete.
BU Proof Roosevelt dimes occupy a distinct position in the 90% silver market because they combine verified silver content with collector-grade surfaces that standard circulated examples cannot offer. For buyers who want the familiar liquidity profile of junk silver but prefer coins with stronger visual presentation, the BU Proof format delivers both without requiring third-party grading. The 1946 to 1964 production window is finite and well-documented, which contributes to sustained collector and dealer interest over time.
The $1 face value format provides a practical and divisible unit that suits a range of acquisition strategies. Whether building a position gradually or purchasing in larger quantities, the dime denomination offers more transactional flexibility than higher-denomination 90% silver coins. For buyers who value granularity, recognizability, and condition quality in the same product, the BU Proof Roosevelt dime is a coherent choice within the broader 90% silver category.
We have operated as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach has always been centered on transparency, honest pricing, and treating buyers as informed participants rather than passive consumers. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects a consistent track record of reliable transactions and responsive customer service. Memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect our standing in the broader numismatic and bullion community.
Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it becomes available for purchase. Our authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC means we are equipped to handle and evaluate coins at a professional level. Beyond sourcing and authentication, we are built around a two-way market model that supports both buying and selling, so customers can evaluate the complete transaction picture before committing to a purchase rather than discovering resale considerations later.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a wide range of products, including 90% silver coinage. For a product like the Roosevelt dime, where premiums above spot can shift meaningfully based on supply conditions and collector demand, having direct visibility into current wholesale pricing levels provides a more accurate picture of where the market actually stands. Members also gain access to proprietary analytics including historical premium data, bid/ask spread analysis, and liquidity metrics that help contextualize current pricing relative to past market conditions.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live executable wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more realistic view of what their holdings are worth at current market conditions. For buyers accumulating 90% silver in $1 face value increments over time, this kind of real-time data makes it easier to evaluate the position with objective information rather than assumptions.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the buying process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each payment option is processed through a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information at every step.
Having multiple payment paths also means customers can choose the method that best fits their purchase size, timeline, and personal preference. Whether completing a small single-roll purchase or a larger accumulation order, the flexibility in payment options is designed to reduce friction and support a smooth transaction from start to finish.
