The 2010 Roosevelt Dime is a special production coin minted in Philadelphia, representing one of the beloved series of dimes in United States currency. Designed by John R. Sinnock, this dime features a diameter of 17.9 mm and weighs 2.27 grams, composed of a unique blend of materials—75% copper and 25% nickel over a pure copper center. Although it bears no mint mark, its mintage stands at 583,897, which is a relatively limited production run compared to many other years. This coin is distinct not just for its design and composition, but also for its edge type, which is reeded. Being a 10-cent denomination, this dime serves not only as a functional piece of currency but also as a collectible item for numismatists. With its contemporary production year of 2010, it showcases modern minting techniques while celebrating a longstanding tradition in American coinage. The Roosevelt Dime, known for its iconic depiction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and the torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse, continues to be a popular choice among collectors and can represent both a sentimental value and a piece of American history.
