1961 Roosevelt Silver Dimes, Half Roll of 25 — 90% Silver

A half roll of 25 Roosevelt dimes, all dated 1961, mixed Philadelphia and Denver mints. These are 90% silver coins in near uncirculated condition — sharp detail on the torch and olive branch, minimal wear, and a nice natural tone across the group. A solid silver accumulation lot, whether you're stacking or filling a collection. Details: - Series: Roosevelt Dime - Date: 1961 - Mints: Mixed (Philadelphia & Denver) - Quantity: 25 coins (half roll) - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper - Silver content: 0.0723 troy oz per coin × 25 = 1.8075 troy oz pure silver Near uncirculated across the group — sharp devices, light handling marks consistent with the grade. A clean, honest half roll. The Roosevelt dime replaced the Mercury (Winged Liberty) dime in 1946, issued to honor FDR in the year following his death — and the 1961 issues were among the last 90% silver dimes struck before the Coinage Act of 1965 switched them to clad.
