Overview

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 (the March of Dimes charity). Dimes minted from 1946 to 1964 are composed of 90% silver, making them popular with collectors and those interested in their intrinsic silver value.

Estimated value

For a 1957 silver Roosevelt Dime in average circulated condition, the value is primarily tied to its silver content, which is typically around $1.50 - $2.50 depending on the current spot price of silver. Uncirculated coins can fetch $5 or more, depending on their grade and mint mark.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition and value, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value by damaging its original patina.
