Key Fact
Historical significance
The 1964 Dime features Franklin D. Roosevelt, a key figure in American history and the only U.S. President elected four times. This coin commemorates his contributions, especially his role in establishing the March of Dimes, which aimed at combating polio.
Design details
Designed by John R. Sinnock, the obverse shows Roosevelt's profile, while the reverse depicts a torch surrounded by olive branches, symbolizing liberty and peace.
Transition to Copper-Nickel
The 1964 Dime was the last year the coin was minted in 90% silver, as the U.S. transitioned to a copper-nickel alloy in 1965 due to rising silver prices.
Value Fact
The value of the 1964 Dime largely hinges on its silver content and historical significance. Given its substantial mintage, the coin's value is primarily determined by its condition and demand among collectors. Coins in uncirculated condition may fetch higher prices, while those showing wear are valued lower. Additionally, the intrinsic value of silver can significantly affect its worth in the market.
