Overview

A modern United States dime featuring a portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse.

Historical significance

The Roosevelt dime was introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who led the nation through the Great Depression and World War II, and who was a principal founder of the March of Dimes.

Obverse (front)

Left-facing profile portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt with the word 'LIBERTY' curving along the left rim, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' below his chin, the date '2000' and mint mark 'D' to the right, and the designer's initials 'JS' near the base.

Reverse (back)

A central torch symbolizing liberty, flanked by an olive branch symbolizing peace on the right and an oak branch symbolizing strength on the left. The motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' is draped across the middle, with 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'ONE DIME' along the outer rims.

Estimated value

$0.10 (face value) in circulated condition; $1 to $5+ in high Mint State grades without special designations.

What drives this coin's value

Condition, presence of full bands (FB) on the reverse torch, and high uncirculated grades determine value. Modern circulating issues are generally worth face value unless graded MS67 or higher.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated to Mint State (AU/MS) with minor bag marks and light wear on high points.

Mintage & rarity

High mintage, extremely common. Billions of dimes were struck around this era.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Counterfeits for modern clad dimes are extremely rare because face value is so low and production costs would exceed value.

Notable varieties & errors

Look for rare doubled die obverse/reverse varieties or strike errors, though none are prominently known for this specific year in high frequency.

Similar coins

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning, as improper cleaning will damage the coin's surfaces and significantly reduce its numismatic value. Handle by the edges.
