Franklin D Roosevelt Coin Appraisal

United States Roosevelt Dime (Reverse side)

This is a United States Roosevelt Dime, specifically showing the reverse (tails) side of the coin. The image displays the standard reverse design which includes a central liberty torch flanked by an olive branch on the left and an oak branch on the right. These elements represent liberty, peace, and strength, respectively. The inscription 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' arches across the top edge, while the denomination 'ONE DIME' is situated at the bottom. The phrase 'E•PLURIBUS•UNUM' is visible, split between the floral elements. Physically, the coin appears to be a standard circulating strike, which is 17.91 mm in diameter with a reeded edge. The material appears to be the modern cupro-nickel clad over a copper core, indicated by the duller, non-silver sheen, though a specific date cannot be confirmed from this side alone. The coin's condition shows moderate circulation wear; the high points of the torch and the leaves exhibit smoothing and a loss of original mint luster. There is a visible grayish-brown patina or surface grime across the fields, though no major gouges or deep scratches are immediately apparent from this distance. The craftsmanship is consistent with U.S. Mint mass production since the design's introduction in 1946.
