Leap Year Dimes from WWI and the Roaring ’20s
If you were born on February 29, 1948, you finally became an “adult” when you celebrated your 18th birthday in 2020. No, this isn’t some high-falutin math problem, it’s simple arithmetic based on Leap Year – a year that comes around only once every four years when an extra day is added at the end of February to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year. And, according to some customs, it’s the one and only day of the year where it’s socially acceptable for women to propose marriage to men!
This set brings together United States Dimes struck during years where the calendar includes that extra special February 29 date. With this modern set, you’ll receive the 1948, 1952, 1956, 1960 and 1964 Roosevelt Dimes. Each coin was struck in 90% fine silver and comes in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The five-coin set also comes beautifully housed in a custom display card and holder.
Celebrate the once-every-four-years February 29 date with this 1948–1964 Roosevelt Leap Year Dime Five-Piece Set. It also makes a great gift for those rare folks born during a Leap Year!
