(1946-Present) Roosevelt Dime Coin

CoinTrap^TM Commentary: First released to the public in January of 1946, the Roosevelt Dime entered the stream of public consciousness and everyday simple transactions.  It is instantly recognizable by most if not all Americans. Having founded what would later become the March of Dimes organization, the decision was made to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt for this and his many other achievements by depicting his portrait on the obverse of the coin. The reverse has imprinted a torch, an olive branch, and an oak branch.  You gotta love the Roosevelt Dime!  Truly a mainstay of the U.S. currency.

Coin Value: What is the value of your Roosevelt Dime coin?  It all depends on a few important factors. The Roosevelt Dime coin worth or value depends on these main factors: (1) your coin’s grade, (2) whether it is a proof coin (Deep Cameo or DCAM) having a mirror-like polished finish, (3) whether it is a silver version, (4) the mint (P for Philadelphia, S for San Francisco, and D for Denver), and (5) scarcity/demand. Regarding your coin’s grade, it has become a standard in the field of numismatics (coin collecting) to grade coins on a point-scale from 1 (poor) to 70 (perfect).  This is also referred to as the “Mint State” or just “MS” for short.
