Roosevelt Head Dime Appraisal

United States Roosevelt Dime (Reverse Aspect)

This item is a United States Roosevelt Dime, viewed from the reverse side. The coin features the standard design elements introduced in 1946, including a central torch symbolizing liberty, flanked by an olive branch on the left (representing peace) and an oak branch on the right (representing strength and independence). The coin is circular with a reeded edge and appears to be made of a silver-colored metal composition; depending on the mint year, this would be either 90% silver (pre-1965) or a copper-nickel clad composition (1965 to present). The denomination 'ONE DIME' is visible along the bottom rim, and 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' is inscribed along the top rim. The motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' is integrated into the design. In terms of condition, the coin displays moderate circulation wear, with softening of the details on the torch flames and the leaves of the branches. There is a noticeable dark patina or surface grime across the fields, and several small contact marks are visible on the relief. No distinct mint mark is immediately legible in this resolution, though it would typically be found to the left of the base of the torch on older silver issues or above the date on the obverse for modern strikes. The craftsmanship reflects standard U.S. Mint production quality for general circulation currency.
