Overview

A small, silver-colored United States coin featuring the profile of Franklin D. Roosevelt, heavily damaged by environmental exposure or corrosion.

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime has been minted since 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt's leadership during WWII and his work with the March of Dimes to cure polio.

Obverse (front)

Left-facing portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Inscriptions: 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', the year '2001', and the mint mark 'D'. Designed by John R. Sinnock.

Reverse (back)

An upright torch (signifying liberty), an olive branch (peace), and an oak branch (strength). Inscriptions: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', 'ONE DIME'.

Estimated value

$0.10 (Face Value). In this heavily damaged/corroded condition, it has no additional numismatic value.

What drives this coin's value

Modern dimes are valued primarily by their grade (condition). In high Mint State condition (MS-67 or higher), they can be worth more, but damaged examples are only worth face value.

Grade assessment

Damaged / Environmental Damage. The coin shows heavy pitting, discoloration, and surface loss that negates a standard grading assessment.

Mintage & rarity

Typical high mintage for modern circulation; 2,669,183,000 produced at the Denver Mint in 2001 (Common).

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check the weight (2.27g) and the copper-colored stripe on the reeded edge to confirm it is a standard clad issue. Counterfeits of common 2001 dimes are virtually non-existent because the production cost exceeds the value.

Notable varieties & errors

No major varieties are recognized for the 2001-D dime. Collectors sometimes look for 'Full Torch' (FT) details on the reverse of high-grade examples.

Similar coins

Roosevelt Silver Dimes (1946-1964) are made of 90% silver and are much more valuable. They can be distinguished by their white luster and white-colored edge (lacking the copper stripe).

Care & preservation

Do not attempt to clean this coin as the surface is already severely compromised by environmental damage (likely 'environmental damage' or 'parking lot' damage). Store in a dry place to prevent further oxidation.
