Overview

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, as a tribute to his efforts in combating polio (which led to the establishment of the 'March of Dimes' campaign). It replaced the Mercury Dime and has been in continuous production since, making it a common circulating coin in the United States.

Estimated value

For a 1996-P Roosevelt Dime in circulated condition, the value is typically its face value, "$0.10". In uncirculated condition, it might fetch a slight premium, usually around "$0.25 - $1.00", depending on the specific grade and market conditions. Coins from this year and mint mark are not considered rare.

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, ideally in an archival-safe holder such as a non-PVC flip, slab, or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value, even if it appears to improve its appearance initially.
