The Artistry Behind the Coins

The Historic West Point Roosevelt Dime:

The centerpiece of this set is the 1996-W Roosevelt Dime, struck at the West Point Mint to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt Dime series. This is the first and only time a circulation-type dime has been struck at West Point with the "W" mint mark, making it an instant collectible. The West Point Mint, typically reserved for commemorative coins, bullion, and special issues, produced this exclusive dime solely for inclusion in the 1996 Uncirculated Mint Set—it was never released into circulation and cannot be found anywhere else.

Roosevelt Dime Design: The obverse features John R. Sinnock's portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, honoring the leader who founded the March of Dimes and championed the fight against polio. The reverse displays a torch symbolizing liberty, flanked by an olive branch representing peace and an oak branch symbolizing strength and independence.

Additional Denominations: The set includes P and D mint marks of the Kennedy half dollar (honoring President John F. Kennedy), Washington quarter, Jefferson nickel, and Lincoln penny. Each coin represents the highest quality strikes from both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, featuring sharp details and lustrous finishes that distinguish uncirculated coins from their circulating counterparts.

Commemorative Medallions: The set also includes special P and D medallions produced exclusively for this mint set, adding to its collectible appeal.
