Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

DescriptionThis is a 1976-S Roosevelt Dime, graded PR69DCAM by PCGS. It is a proof coin featuring the bicentennial design on the reverse, specifically the flaming torch, oak branch, and olive branch. The obverse showcases a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The mint mark 'S' indicates it was struck at the San Francisco Mint. This particular coin is encapsulated in a PCGS holder with certificate number 95255.69/72576499.

HistoryThe year 1976 marked the United States Bicentennial, a significant milestone celebrated across various denominations of U.S. coinage. The Roosevelt Dime, introduced in 1946, typically features a torch on its reverse. For the bicentennial, while the obverse remained the same, the reverse design was a special rendition by John R. Sinnock, symbolizing liberty through a torch, peace through an olive branch, and victory through an oak branch, all set against the backdrop of America's independence.

FactsProof coins are specially made for collectors and are struck multiple times with polished dies to achieve a high level of detail and a mirror-like finish. The DCAM designation in the grade PR69DCAM refers to 'Deep Cameo,' indicating exceptional contrast between the frosted devices and the mirrored fields, a highly desirable attribute for collectors. The 'S' mint mark signifies its origin from the San Francisco Mint, known for producing high-quality proof coinage.

Value Fact

Coins graded PR69DCAM represent a near-perfect specimen and are highly sought after by numismatists. The 1976-S Roosevelt Dime, especially with the bicentennial design, has a strong collector base. Market prices for coins in this grade can range from $20 to $40, with variations influenced by current demand and the overall condition of the encapsulation and coin.
