Jaime Hernandez

The 1954 Proof Roosevelt Dime has one of the lowest mintages in the series. Only the 1950 to 1953 Proof issues have lower mintages. The 1954 Proof Roosevelt Dime is very easy to obtain up to about PR68 condition. In PR69 it is almost non-existent. With Cameo surfaces it is scarce PR68 and higher. And with Deep cameo surfaces it is considered rare in any condition with about a dozen or so examples known in all grades combined.
