Brief Description

The reverse side features a torch symbolizing liberty, flanked by an olive branch for peace and an oak branch for strength and independence. The words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'ONE DIME' encircle the design.

Historical Significance

Estimated Value

Face value ($0.10) for common circulation clad coins; $1.50 - $2.00+ for silver versions (pre-1965) depending on silver market spot prices.

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with chemicals or abrasives as this can significantly decrease collector value; use archival-safe holders for better preservation.
