Roosevelt Dime

Brief Description

Features a bust of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse. The coin is graded PCGS MS66FS, meaning it is in Mint State 66 condition with full split bands on the fasces on the reverse, a sign of a strong strike.

Historical Significance

The Roosevelt Dime was introduced in 1946, shortly after President Roosevelt's death, honoring his contributions, particularly his support for the March of Dimes foundation which fought polio.

Estimated Value

Value varies greatly depending on the specific year, mint mark, and condition (grade). A 1948-D Roosevelt Dime in PCGS MS66FS can potentially be worth several hundred to over a thousand dollars.

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by the edges with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Store it in a cool, dry place in a non-PVC holder or album designed for coin collection.
