Roosevelt Dime

Brief Description

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd U.S. President, facing left, with the word "LIBERTY" to the left, "IN GOD WE TRUST" below his chin, and the year "1999" to the right. The reverse typically depicts a torch, an olive branch, and an oak branch, with the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and "ONE DIME".

Historical Significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, in honor of his leadership during World War II and his efforts in founding the March of Dimes to combat polio. It replaced the Mercury Dime.

Estimated Value

Typically face value (10 cents). Uncirculated or proof specimens might fetch slightly higher values (e.g., $0.25 - $1.00 or more for special varieties/grades).

Care Instructions

For common circulation coins like this 1999 dime, special care for preservation is generally not necessary unless it's a high-grade specimen for a collection. Avoid cleaning the coin as this can decrease its value. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
