Overview

Historical significance

The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946, shortly after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, to honor his efforts in combating polio through the March of Dimes. It replaced the Mercury Dime. Dimes from 1965 onwards are made of a copper-nickel clad composition rather than silver, due to rising silver prices.

Estimated value

The 1993 Roosevelt dime, especially circulated ones, is typically worth its face value (10 cents). Uncirculated examples might fetch a small premium, perhaps 25 cents to a dollar, depending on their grade. There are no known rare varieties for this year.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an acid-free holder, flip, or slab designed for coin collecting. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value, even if it appears to improve its aesthetics.
