Overview

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to honor his efforts in founding the March of Dimes, which funded polio research. It replaced the Mercury Dime (Winged Liberty Head Dime) and has been in continuous production since, becoming a familiar everyday coin in American commerce.

Estimated value

For a standard 1999 Roosevelt Dime in average circulated condition, the estimated value is typically face value ($0.10). Uncirculated examples might fetch slightly more (e.g., $0.25 to $1.00 depending on mint mark and grade), and specific error coins or proofs could be worth significantly more, but this specimen appears to be a regular circulated coin.

Care & preservation

For common circulated coins like this, extensive care is generally not needed. If you wish to preserve its current condition, avoid cleaning it, as this can devalue the coin by causing scratches or altering its original surface. Handle by the edges to prevent oils from your skin from transferring to the coin's surface. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in an inert plastic coin holder or album if you intend to keep it as a collectible.
