Overview

The obverse features a profile portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, facing left. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed to the left of his head, "IN GOD WE TRUST" below his chin, and the year "1999" to his right.

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 (now the March of Dimes). It replaced the Mercury Dime. Being a common circulating coin, the 1999 dime doesn't have significant historical value beyond its role as everyday currency.

Estimated value

Approximately $0.10 - $0.25 USD (face value for circulated coins, slightly more for uncirculated or high-grade specimens)

Care & preservation

For common circulating coins like this 1999 dime, no special care is typically needed. Avoid cleaning, as it can damage the coin's surface and reduce any potential numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place if you wish to preserve its current condition.
