1963 Silver Roosevelt Dime PF68 Cameo $650 This exceptional 1963 Silver Roosevelt Dime is a premier example of mid-century numismatic artistry, professionally graded at a near-perfect PF68 Cameo. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the final years of the 90% silver era, this specimen features a breathtaking contrast between its deeply frosted devices and mirror-like, liquid fields. The "Cameo" designation signifies a sharp visual pop that is highly coveted by collectors, as only a small fraction of proof strikes achieve this level of clarity. At a grade of 68, the coin exhibits virtually no visible post-production marks or imperfections, maintaining the original brilliance it possessed the moment it left the die. This particular piece represents one of the finest known survivals of the date, making it an elite addition for registry set enthusiasts or those seeking a high-value investment in silver coinage. Priced at $650, it offers a rare opportunity to own a masterwork of United States minting history in a state of preservation that is seldom encountered in the open market. Condition: This 1963 Roosevelt Dime is in elite Proof 68 condition, indicating a nearly flawless specimen with only the most minute, microscopic imperfections visible under high magnification. As a "Cameo" designation, the coin features a sharp, frosty contrast between the raised design elements and the deep, mirror-like fields. It was minted at the Philadelphia Mint, which produced all proof sets during this era. The metal content consists of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 2.5 grams. Historically, this coin represents the penultimate year of circulating silver coinage in the United States before the transition to copper-nickel clad compositions in 1965. The collector value is high due to the grade and cameo contrast; while standard 1963 proofs are common, a PF68 Cameo is a "top pop" candidate desired by registry set collectors. The strike type is a Proof, specifically manufactured for collectors using polished planchets and dies. It has been professionally graded and encapsulated by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), though the current market value for a PF68 Cameo typically ranges between $40 and $75, suggesting the $650 asking price is significantly above standard market retail for this specific grade. numismatics, rare coin, Roosevelt dime, silver dime, 1963 dime, proof coin, PF68 grade, coin collecting, US currency, slabbed coin, NGC holder, one dime, silver bullion, coin investment, Heritage Auctions 1963 Roosevelt Dime, PF68 Roosevelt Dime, Proof Dime, Silver Roosevelt Dime, Rare US Coins, Numismatic Collectibles, Heritage Auctions Coins, PCGS PF68, NGC PF68, Graded US Dimes Bidder is fully responsible for: - Determining what an item is worth to you - Evaluating the condition and authenticity of items - Making informed bidding decisions The auction house does explicitly not: - Provide appraisals - Grade items - Authenticate items - Test items - Third-Par
