Roosevelt Dime coin minted in 2004

The Roosevelt Dime was introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt following his death in 1945. The coin was designed by John R. Sinnock, Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, and features Roosevelt's profile on the obverse and a torch flanked by olive and oak branches on the reverse. The design has remained largely unchanged since its introduction, making it one of the most enduring coin designs in American numismatic history. Roosevelt Dimes are popular among coin collectors, particularly those interested in modern U.S. coinage and complete date-and-mintmark sets. This particular 2004-P dime, minted in Philadelphia, appeals to collectors building Roosevelt Dime collections, as well as those interested in early 21st-century U.S. circulation coins. The coin represents an accessible entry point for beginning numismatists while also serving as a necessary component for advanced collectors pursuing complete sets.
