The Roosevelt Dime is a coin that has been struck for almost 80 years now and it looks to have no end in sight -- and with such a long minting history, it is harder than ever to find coins from that first year of issue back in 1946!
That year the United States Mint would end up striking a grand total of 344,193,500 total Uncirculated Roosevelt Dimes across the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints -- yet despite such an enormous number of coins being struck, very few exist today in any condition at all.
Don't just take our word for it -- take a look at the population numbers today with NGC and PCGS (as of 07-18-2024):
