PCGS Graded Roosevelt Dime Dimes For Sale
Graded Roosevelt Dimes
The first Roosevelt Dime was issued in 1946. The obverse depicted the profile bust of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The reverse design is a torch flanked by an olive branch on the left and an oak branch on the right. The Roosevelt Dime marked the first time that a U.S. Dime depicted a figure other than Lady Liberty! The Roosevelt Dime was designed by John R. Sinnock.
The Roosevelt Dime was originally composed of 90% Silver and 10% Copper. The silver Roosevelt Dimes were struck from 1946 to 1964. They weigh 2.50 grams and a reeded edge. The edges of most silver coins were reeded to make evident any attempt to shave silver off the coin.
In 1965 the composition changed to a 75% Copper and 25% Nickel outer shell bonded to a pure copper middle. They weigh 2.27 grams. This composition is still used today for circulating issues.
