Overview

A silver-colored United States ten-cent coin featuring Franklin D. Roosevelt, showing significant heavy linear surface scratches and wear.

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was introduced in 1946 following the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to honor his leadership during the Great Depression and WWII, and his support for the March of Dimes.

Obverse (front)

Portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left. Includes the inscriptions 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', the year '2004', and the 'P' mint mark. Designer: John R. Sinnock.

Reverse (back)

A torch, an olive branch (peace), and an oak branch (strength) signify liberty, peace, and victory. Inscriptions: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', and 'ONE DIME'.

Estimated value

$0.10 (Face Value). In this damaged condition, it carries no numismatic premium.

What drives this coin's value

Condition and mint luster are the primary value drivers for modern dimes. Because this coin is heavily damaged, it is worth only face value.

Grade assessment

Damaged / Circulated. The coin shows heavy parallel scratches across both faces, likely from abrasive mechanical cleaning or industrial machinery.

Mintage & rarity

Common; Approximately 1,127,000,000 P-mints were struck in 2004.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Weight and diameter checks easily authenticate these. Counterfeits of common 2004 dimes are virtually non-existent due to their low value.

Notable varieties & errors

No major varieties for the 2004-P; collectors look for 'Full Torch' (FT) details on pristine uncirculated specimens.

Similar coins

Pre-1965 Roosevelt dimes look similar but are 90% silver and lack the copper-colored edge strip.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning coins as it can damage the surface. Handle by the edges. Store in a cool, dry place away from PVC containers which can cause chemical damage.
