1954 Roosevelt Silver Dime NGC PF67 $298

Updated August 24, 2026

1954 Roosevelt Silver Dime NGC PF67 $298 This exceptional 1954 Roosevelt Silver Dime is a premium numismatic specimen professionally graded PF67 by NGC, representing a high-tier Proof strike with superb eye appeal. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper, this coin features mirror-like fields and sharply defined sculptural details on both the obverse portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the reverse's torch, olive branch, and oak branch motifs. A grade of Proof 67 indicates a coin with a full, original strike and only the most microscopic of marks, making it a desirable "superb gem" for serious collectors of mid-century US coinage. As a vintage Proof issue from an era with significantly lower mintages than modern sets, this piece carries historical significance and serves as a gleaming example of early post-war minting excellence. Secured in a tamper-evident NGC holder for long-term preservation, this dime is an ideal acquisition for those seeking to complete a registry set or invest in high-grade silver bullion rarities. Condition: The coin is in Superb Gem Proof condition, as indicated by the PF67 grade from NGC. This signifies a coin with a sharp strike, full original brilliance, and only a few very minor, nearly imperceptible marks or hairlines visible under magnification. The surfaces appear highly reflective and well-preserved within the protective slab. Mint: This coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. During this era, proof sets were exclusively produced at Philadelphia, and as is standard for these issues, it does not feature a mint mark. Metal Content: The 1954 Roosevelt Dime is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. It contains approximately 0.07234 troy ounces of pure silver, making it part of the "junk silver" category for circulated coins, though this proof specimen carries a significant numismatic premium. Historical Context: Issued less than a decade after the end of World War II, the Roosevelt Dime was introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt following his death. By 1954, the U.S. was in the midst of the post-war economic boom, and the production of proof sets was increasing in popularity among collectors, with 233,300 sets produced that year. Collector Value: While the silver melt value is low, the PF67 grade makes this a desirable numismatic item. However, the $298 asking price is significantly higher than current market trends; professional price guides and recent auction data typically value a standard 1954 PF67 Roosevelt Dime between $30 and $50. A higher price would usually only be justified if the coin possessed a "Cameo" or "Ultra Cameo" designation, which is not noted on this label. Strike Type: This is a Proof strike, specifically intended for collectors rather than general circulation. Proof coins are struck multiple times using specially polished dies and planchets to create a mirror-like finish and exceptionally sharp details. Grading: The coin has
