Overview

The obverse features the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left. The word 'LIBERTY' is positioned on the left, and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is typically seen under Roosevelt's chin. The coin shown has a dark circular spot/damage near the top left rim.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1946 to honor Franklin D. Roosevelt after his death, the dime was chosen due to his association with the 'March of Dimes' and his efforts to fight polio. It replaced the Mercury Dime.

Estimated value

$0.10 (Face value). Due to visible damage and the commonality of clad dimes, it holds no additional numismatic value.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin with abrasives or chemicals as it can strip the protective luster. Keep in a dry environment. Since this is a modern circulation coin with damage, it does not require specialized storage but should be handled by the edges if kept for personal sentimental reasons.
