| Obverse description | The obverse presents a left-facing effigy of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, who served from 1933 until his death in 1945. The legend LIBERTY arcs along the upper rim, while the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears in the lower left field. The date is positioned in the lower right field. The portrait, originally engraved by John R. Sinnock, is rendered with fine proof detail, displaying Roosevelt's strong facial features in high relief against a deeply mirrored field. |

| Additional information |
The Roosevelt Dime has been struck continuously since 1946, the year of FDR's death, making it one of the longest-running portrait series in U.S. coinage. Congress moved quickly — legislation authorizing the design passed within weeks of his January death, displacing the Mercury Dime mid-mintage year. Silver proofs in .999 fineness are a modern distinction; the circulating series dropped silver entirely in 1965, a casualty of the nationwide coin shortage driven by hoarding and rising silver prices.
San Francisco handles all modern proof production for this type. The "W" mint mark appeared on circulation strikes beginning in 2019, but proof silver examples remain exclusively a San Francisco issue.
