Overview

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, in honor of his leadership during World War II and his efforts in establishing the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (later known as the March of Dimes). It replaced the Mercury Dime. The 1996 dime is a common modern issue.

Estimated value

Circulated 1996 Roosevelt Dimes are generally worth their face value ($0.10). Uncirculated examples may fetch slightly more, typically $0.25 to $1.00 depending on the mint mark and specific condition (e.g., proof coins or specific mint errors can be more valuable).

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in archival-safe holders such as Mylar flips, coin capsules, or albums. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value by damaging its surface and original patina.
