Overview

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Roosevelt's death, to honor his efforts in fighting polio as well as his leadership during World War II and the Great Depression. Since 1965, its composition changed from 90% silver to copper-nickel clad due to rising silver prices.

Estimated value

For common dates and in circulated conditions, a copper-nickel clad Roosevelt dime is worth its face value, "$0.10". Uncirculated or key date dimes can be worth more, ranging from a few dollars to considerably higher for rare variants or pristine condition.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can cause discoloration. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an archival-safe coin holder, flip, or slab to protect it from environmental damage and physical wear. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value.
