Roosevelt Dime

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left with the word 'LIBERTY' and a date. This specific specimen appears to be heavily damaged or a 'clipped planchet' error.

Historical Significance

The Roosevelt dime was first released in 1946, shortly after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to honor his leadership during the Great Depression and World War II, as well as his support for the March of Dimes.

Estimated Value

$0.10 - $5.00 (Value varies significantly based on date, silver content, and whether the damage is a mint error or post-mint damage)

Care Instructions

Handle by the edges only. Store in a PVC-free coin flip or capsule to prevent further oxidation or environmental damage. Do not clean or scrub the surface, as this can reduce numismatic value.
