Roosevelt Dimes are a popular series of coins minted by the United States Mint, first produced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The 1947 Philadelphia issue is notable as it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint without any mint mark. These dimes are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making them highly sought after by both collectors and investors. The design features a profile of Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse, symbolizing freedom and peace. Coins from this era, particularly in higher grades, can command significant premiums in the collectible market.
