1989 S Roosevelt Dime Proof

Notes:

This proof contains no silver, it was not until 1992 that the US mint started back minting silver proof dimes, and even then most were not silver proofs.

Full Bands (FB) or Full Torch (FT) is the gold standard for the 1989 Dime. On the reverse look at the torch and see if it has all of the bands. Having this feature alone will add an additional 15-35% to the value of your coin.
