Roosevelt Dime Overview

The Roosevelt Dime that has been in production since 1946 is a testament to President Roosevelt's support of the March of Dimes and his work to eradicate polio.

Chief engraver, John Sinnock, is the creator of the design after having been commissioned by Congress to create a new dime in 1945. Sinnock's design was first put into production in 1946, shelving the previous Winged Liberty Dime.

1967 Roosevelt Dime History

Throughout the Roosevelt Dime series, all three mints took part in the minting process. In 1967, only the Philadelphia Mint was responsible for minting the Roosevelt Dime, meaning that Denver or San Francisco did not mint any examples.

Forced with having to produce all the Roosevelt Dimes for that year, the Mint at Philadelphia produced 2,244,007,000 examples. This was the first time in mint history that only one branch created more than two billion examples of the Roosevelt Dime.

Since silver was removed from it in 1964, the composition of the 1967 Roosevelt Dime is 75% copper and 25% nickel. This resulted in a weight of 2.27 grams and a 17.9 mm diameter. Reeding is present on the edge of the coin.

**Prices will not see much of a rebound in coming years unless more people begin collecting Roosevelt Dimes or the numbers began to dwindle. Either way, the 1967 Roosevelt Dime is a very inexpensive coin that can be added to your collection just by looking at your pocket change.**

The 1967-P Roosevelt Dime was made by the United States Mint. This coin is made out of a clad material, meaning that the outer layer is a mixture of copper and nickel, while the inside core is solid copper. These coins, baring a special circumstance, will be worth face value. On the obverse of the coin is text that reads "Liberty, In God We Trust, and the date, along with the designers JS initials." The reverse of the coin reads "United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, One Dime." The obverse, or front side of the coin, features President Franklin Roosevelt while the reverse, or back side of the coin, shows a torch in the center with two branches surrounding.
