Overview

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, in honor of his efforts in establishing the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (later known as the March of Dimes). It replaced the Mercury dime and has been continuously minted since, representing a tribute to his leadership during the Great Depression and World War II.

Estimated value

For a 1999-D Roosevelt dime in average circulated condition, the value is typically its face value, "$0.10". In uncirculated condition, it might fetch slightly more, around "$0.25 - $1.00" depending on its grade and condition. Error or special varieties could be worth more, but this coin appears to be a standard circulating issue.

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, ideally in an inert holder like a Mylar flip or a non-PVC coin slab. Avoid cleaning common circulation coins unless you are an experienced numismatist, as improper cleaning can significantly decrease its value.
