The Roosevelt Dime, introduced in 1946, is a ten-cent coin produced by the United States Mint. It features a left-facing portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and an image of a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse. Initially minted in Philadelphia, these coins are composed of a 90% silver alloy until 1964, after which they changed to a copper-nickel composition. Collectors often seek out specific years and mint marks, particularly those produced in Philadelphia, due to variations in mintage and condition.
