Roosevelt Dimes are a series of ten-cent coins produced by the United States Mint, first issued in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The 1953 Roosevelt Dime features an image of Roosevelt on the obverse, with the reverse depicting a torch, olive branch, and oak branch, symbolizing liberty and peace. Collectors often seek specific years, mint marks, and conditions, with certain 1953 dimes, particularly those in uncirculated or proof conditions, valued higher in the numismatic market. The coin is composed of 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel, with a diameter of 17.91 mm and a weight of 2.5 grams.
