The year "1986" and a mint mark (likely 'D' for Denver, given the mint mark placement) are to the right of the portrait.

Overview

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, to honor his contributions to the nation, especially his efforts in combating polio through the March of Dimes. The 1986 dime is a standard circulating coin and does not hold significant historical value beyond its regular use, though it represents a continuation of this series.

Estimated value

Circulated 1986 Roosevelt Dimes are typically worth their face value ($0.10). Uncirculated examples might fetch slightly more, generally between $0.25 and $1.00, depending on their condition and mint mark. Coins with errors or rare varieties could be worth more, but this particular coin appears to be a standard issue.

Care & preservation

For common circulating coins like this 1986 dime, no special care is typically needed. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can devalue it, especially if it were to have collectible value. If you wish to preserve its current condition, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin and store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a coin holder or album designed for coin storage.
