Additional Description: This small grouping includes a single 1961 silver dime alongside multiple examples from 1964, all struck in 90% silver and bearing the familiar Roosevelt design that had become a mainstay of American coinage by mid-century. The 1961 issue comes from a period when silver dimes still circulated freely, though behind the scenes, rising bullion prices were beginning to pressure the U.S. Mint to consider alternatives. By 1964, those pressures had come to a head. The Mint dramatically increased production in what would become the final year of circulating silver coinage, making the 1964 dimes both historically significant and materially distinct.
