Roosevelt Dime
Country of Origin: United States
Year of Issue: Likely modern (post-1964), precise year not visible
Denomination: Ten Cents (One Dime)
Composition: Copper-nickel clad (75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper core)
Brief Description
The coin features a profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse. The reverse, partially visible, displays a torch flanked by an olive branch and an oak branch, with the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DIME".
Historical Significance
The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Roosevelt's death, to honor his work in fighting polio and his leadership during World War II. It replaced the Mercury Dime.
Estimated Value
Circulated modern dimes are worth their face value ($0.10). Uncirculated examples or those with rare mint marks/errors might fetch slightly more, but typically not significantly. Specific year and mint mark would be needed for a more precise valuation.
Care Instructions
For common circulation coins like this, special care is usually not necessary. If it were a more valuable or older coin, it would be advised to handle it by the edges, store it in an inert holder (like Mylar), and avoid cleaning, which can reduce its value.
