Overview

The obverse features a left-facing profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed to the left, "IN GOD WE TRUST" below his chin, and the year "1999" with a "D" mint mark (for Denver) to the right. The reverse typically features a torch, an olive branch, and an oak branch, symbolizing liberty, peace, and strength, respectively. The inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and "ONE DIME" are also present.

Historical significance

The Roosevelt dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, to honor his efforts in fighting polio and his overall leadership during the Great Depression and World War II. Its design has remained largely unchanged since its inception. This 1999 issue is a standard circulating coin.

Estimated value

Approximately $0.10 - $0.25, depending on its condition and if it's a special mint error. For a standard circulated condition, it's worth its face value.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in archival-safe holders like Mylar flips or coin capsules. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value, especially for circulated modern coins.
