COINS

United States 2008 1 Dime USD Copper/Nickel

Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Dime was first issued in 1796 and has evolved in design over the years. The 2008 version honors Franklin D. Roosevelt, who played a pivotal role in establishing the March of Dimes.

Design detailsThe obverse features the left-facing profile of Roosevelt, while the reverse showcases a torch flanked by an olive branch and an oak branch, symbolizing peace and strength.

Minting processDimes are produced at the Philadelphia Mint, denoted by the 'P' mint mark, which became standard in 1980 to indicate coins made there.

Value Fact

The value of a 2008 Dime is primarily influenced by its condition and rarity. In uncirculated condition, it may fetch a higher premium than its face value. Collectors often seek coins that are well-preserved or have unique minting errors.

The historical context of the Dime, especially its ties to Franklin D. Roosevelt and the March of Dimes, adds an emotional and historical value, making it more appealing to collectors.
