Offered here is a genuine 1956 Roosevelt dime struck at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), in 90% silver. This one is a real eye-catcher: natural gold, orange and rainbow toning drapes both sides, strongest across Roosevelt's portrait on the obverse, with flashes of blue and violet around the reverse legends. Every coin tones differently, and this is the kind of color toning collectors look for.
Grade: About Uncirculated (AU). Only light wear on the highest points (the hair above the ear and the cheek), with the hair lines, ear and lettering sharp. On the reverse the torch, flame and both olive and oak branches keep their detail, and the legends are bold and well clear of the rim.
Condition, please read: in fairness, there is a small dark toning spot on the jaw below the ear, and a few light contact marks in the fields, normal for a silver dime of this age. No signs of cleaning seen. Please see all the photos, which are the best description; toning colors can look slightly different under different lighting.
