Description

A dime from the Denver Mint, the 1996 (D) Roosevelt Dime belongs to the Roosevelt Dimes Clad and Silver Proof 1965 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 1.4 billion examples, making this ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 50% of production. The obverse features Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left, honoring the president who championed the March of Dimes and the reverse displays a torch flanked by olive and oak branches, symbolizing liberty, peace, and strength. Struck after the transition from silver to clad coinage, as the Mint adapted to modern production methods and record-breaking mintages. Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $3 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 2.27 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5190.
