Description
1965 Roosevelt Dime, AU58
Struck on a Silver Planchet
Transitional Alloy Error
1965 10C Roosevelt Dime -- Struck on a 90% Silver Planchet,
Transitional Alloy -- AU58 PCGS. Breen-3761. 2.56 grams. A
silver dime should weigh 2.5 grams, and a clad dime typically
weighs 2.27 grams. During 1965, the U.S. Mint struck 1964-dated
dimes on 90% silver planchets, and 1965-dated dimes on newly
introduced clad planchets. Inevitably, a small number of silver
planchets found their way between 1965 dies, though the
transitional alloy error is rare, comparable with the 1943 copper
cent. Fortunately for collectors, the 1965 silver dime is far more
affordable. The present specimen displays light chestnut-brown
toning that deepens slightly near the rims. The reverse exhibits an
orange-peel texture consistent with long-in-use dies. Marks are
only incidental, and much luster is present despite a hint of wear
on Roosevelt's cheekbone and eyebrow.
