The 1971 Denver 10-cent coin, commonly known as a dime, is a part of the standard issue coins of the United States. Dimes are struck in copper-nickel clad and weigh 2.5 grams, with a diameter of 17.91 mm. The 1971 Denver dime features the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse, symbolizing freedom, peace, and strength, respectively. Collectors often seek dimes from specific years and mint marks—like the Denver mintmark (D)—for their collections, with rolls containing multiple coins typically being traded among enthusiasts.
