The current design of the US dime bears a bust of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the torch of Liberty. This design was introduced to the series shortly after President Roosevelt’s death in office and launched with a 1946 date mark. From that year until 1964, all Roosevelt Dimes in production had 90% silver content. Today, you can purchase 90% Silver Roosevelt Dimes in a $1 Face Value allotment online from Bullion Metals.

The US Dime was revamped in 1946 to feature the image of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. President Roosevelt died early in his fourth term as President of the United States of America, a record that prompted an amendment to the Constitution mandating that all presidents must step down from office after two terms. Previously, presidents dating back to Washington had voluntarily stepped aside after two terms.

All of the 90% Silver Roosevelt Dimes in this $1 Face Value allotment come from the Roosevelt Dime design. While this design is still in use today on the 10-cent denomination, all coins issued from 1965 onward have the new cupro-nickel alloy. As such, the only coins you can receive in this listing come with date marks from 1946 to 1964. These are the years in which the US Mint issued the dime with 90% silver content and 10% copper. The coins in this listing will ship in a bag and we cannot guarantee which specific date marks in that range you will receive. You could receive coins all with the same date mark or with varying date marks.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt is featured on the obverse side of the 90% Silver Roosevelt Dimes. The design captures Roosevelt in left-profile relief. The dime was chosen as the denomination on which to honor Roosevelt because he had helped launch the March of Dimes effort during the 1930s.

A torch is depicted on the reverse of the 90% Silver Roosevelt Dimes. This design is simplistic in nature and features Liberty’s torch with branches of oak and laurel flanking the design element on either side.
