The coin in question is a 2002 Roosevelt Dime, a denomination of ten cents, produced by the United States Mint. This particular example was minted in Philadelphia, as indicated by its "P" mint mark. Measuring 17.9 millimeters in diameter and weighing 2.27 grams, the coin is made of a copper-nickel clad over a copper core, a standard material composition for dimes of this series. The total mintage for the 2002 Roosevelt Dime is quite substantial at 1,187,500,000 pieces, which means this coin was produced in large quantities and is commonly found in circulation. The Roosevelt Dime has been minted since 1946, honoring President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and it features an image of Roosevelt on the obverse (front) side. The reverse side displays a torch flanked by an olive branch and a laurel branch, symbolizing liberty and peace, respectively. In terms of value, given its high mintage and contemporary release date, the 2002 Roosevelt Dime is generally not considered rare or particularly valuable in average circulated condition. However, well-preserved examples (in uncirculated condition) may hold a slightly higher premium for collectors. Overall, it remains a staple of American coinage and a common component of everyday transactions.
