The 1956 Roosevelt Dime is a ten-cent coin minted by the United States Mint, part of the series that honors President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This coin features a profile of Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse, symbolizing liberty, peace, and strength, respectively. The 1956 issue is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, as it was produced before the transition to a copper-nickel alloy in 1965. Collectors value Roosevelt Dimes based on their condition, mint mark, and rarity, with the 1956 coins being relatively common in circulated condition.
