Additional Description: A tube of 1962 U.S. silver dimes presents a cohesive snapshot of American coinage just before the dramatic shift away from precious metals. Struck in 90% silver, these Roosevelt dimes belong to the final years of traditional U.S. circulating silver coinage, a practice that would come to an end just three years later with the Coinage Act of 1965. The early 1960s were marked by growing concerns over the rising cost of silver and increasing pressure on the U.S. Mint to find more economical alternatives. Yet in 1962, silver coinage still flowed freely through the economy, and these dimes reflect the last chapter of that long-standing tradition.
