Overview

The reverse of the coin features a torch in the center, symbolizing liberty, flanked by an olive branch on the left (representing peace) and an oak branch on the right (representing strength and independence). The words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'ONE DIME' circle the design.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt following his death in 1945. Roosevelt was chosen for the dime due to his association with the March of Dimes organization, which fought polio, a disease the President suffered from himself.

Estimated value

$0.10 for modern circulated clad versions; $2.00 or more for pre-1965 silver versions depending on silver market spot prices.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-quality holder (such as PVC-free flips). Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can permanently damage its surface and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
