Introducción de monedas
Proof coins were offered in 1950 for the first time since being interrupted by World War II in 1942. Whereas previously collectors could order just those denominations they desired, from 1950 to the present day only complete, pre-packaged sets are sold by the U. S. Mint. The individual plastic sleeves of 1936-42 were still used, but these were stapled together and placed within a square, cardboard box that was then sealed with heavy paper tape. An eight year suspension in the coining of proofs meant that the Philadelphia Mint had to relearn the process before perfecting it. As a consequence, this first emission of proof Roosevelt Dimes included many coins that were only semi-brilliant. Those struck from dies that were more fully polished may sometimes show a lack of low-relief details, as these were abraded from the dies, but this is not a big issue with 1950 proof dimes. Gems of this issue have been certified in good numbers through PF 67, but examples displaying enough contrast on both sides to be certified as Cameo are very scarce and highly sought. Ultra Cameo proofs are extremely rare. A very minor doubled-die reverse is noted for the sake of completeness.Leer más
