Roosevelt Dime (1946 - present)
The Roosevelt Dime was designed by Jogn R. Sinnock in the memory of one of the most popular
presidents of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Only a year after his death, Roosevelt got his portrait placed on the obverse of the U.S. dime. Around the
left rim LIBERTY was inscribed. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed at the bottom left of the coin, while the date is at the bottom right below Roosevelt's
neck. The sate on the dime was designed in a more modernistic character with heavier lettering. On the reverse, Sinnock replaced the fasces with a torch
surrounded by an olive branch and an oak branch, symbols of peace. Just like it happened with the Franklin Half Dollar designed by the same person, the Roosevelt
Dime raised political controversy about the designer's initials JS on the obverse. Bigots started spreading rumors that the JS initials stood for the Communist
leader Joseph Stalin and it was a disgrace to the United States Mint. All dates and mintmarks of Roosevelt dimes were issued in huge quantities. Therefore,
collectors will have no difficulty to locate any date of this type, in any grades at a low premium.
