Overview

A heavily circulated, scratched, and worn modern United States Roosevelt Dime showing significant edge damage and surface wear.

Historical significance

The Roosevelt dime has been issued by the United States Mint continuously since 1946. It was introduced shortly after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to honor his legacy, particularly his founding of the March of Dimes.

Obverse (front)

Features the left-facing profile portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The word 'LIBERTY' appears along the top left rim, the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is to the lower left, and the year '2005' along with the 'P' mint mark is located near the bottom right.

Reverse (back)

Features a torch in the center symbolizing liberty, flanked by an olive branch symbolizing peace on the left and an oak branch symbolizing strength and independence on the right. The motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' is draped across the middle, with 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' above and 'ONE DIME' below.

Estimated value

$0.10 (Face Value)

What drives this coin's value

Condition, mint mark, and any rare mint errors. Heavy damage significantly reduces any potential numismatic premium.

Grade assessment

Poor to Fair (Heavy circulation wear, extensive edge damage, and surface nicks)

Mintage & rarity

High mintage, very common

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Counterfeits of modern circulating dimes are extremely rare due to their low face value and the high cost of production.

Notable varieties & errors

No major high-value varieties are commonly found for the 2005 circulation strike, apart from occasional striking errors.

Similar coins

Earlier Mercury dimes (1916-1945) or other modern U.S. circulating coinage like quarters and nickels.

Care & preservation

Due to its heavy wear, environmental damage, and low collector value, no special preservation steps are necessary. Store in a standard coin holder if keeping as a novelty.
