Jaime Hernandez

The 1959-D Roosevelt Dime is one of the more common dates in the series. Over 164 million were struck, therefore, it has the highest mintage for any dime from 1947 to 1960. Finding a nice example of this date should be fairly easy and affordable for just about any collector. Only In MS67 or MS67 Full Bands does it become scarce. There's also at least one known example graded by PCGS in MS68FB condition with none higher.
