Roosevelt Dimes

(1946 - Current)

The Roosevelt Dime was introduced in 1946 to honor Franklin D. Roosevelt following his death in 1945. Designed by John R. Sinnock, the obverse features Roosevelt’s portrait, while the reverse displays a torch flanked by olive and oak branches, symbolizing liberty, peace, and strength.

Silver Composition (1946–1964):
From its introduction through 1964, Roosevelt dimes were struck in the traditional 90% silver and 10% copper alloy. These coins are commonly collected for both their silver content and historical significance.

Clad Composition (1965–Present):
Beginning in 1965, rising silver prices prompted a composition change. Dimes were struck in a copper-nickel clad format consisting of outer layers of 75% copper and 25% nickel bonded to a pure copper core. This composition remains in use today.

Although most Roosevelt dimes are common in circulation, certain early silver issues, proof varieties, and high-grade examples remain desirable. The series continues as one of the longest-running continuous designs in U.S. coinage history.
