The Roosevelt Dime was first issued in 1946 to honor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, after his death. The 1977-D Roosevelt Dime is part of the series, which continues to be produced today.
This dime is minted with 10% copper and 90% silver, but by 1965, the composition changed to a clad nickel-copper alloy.
The obverse design of the coin features a left-facing portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, designed by John R. Sinnock. Roosevelt is depicted in a distinguished manner, with clear details and a prominent profile.
The 1977-D Roosevelt Dime was minted at the Denver Mint, indicated by the "D" mintmark on the reverse of the coin, to the right of the olive branch.
The 1977-D Roosevelt Dime has a face value of 10 cents, but its collector value depends on its condition and demand.
Circulated coins are generally worth their face value, while uncirculated coins or coins in higher grades (such as MS65 or MS70) will have a premium value, especially those in mint condition.
The 1977-D Roosevelt Dime can be found at coin dealers, numismatic auctions, and online marketplaces like eBay. You can also occasionally find it in circulation, though it's harder to find in mint condition.
As with many silver or nickel-copper coins, the 1977-D Roosevelt Dime may appreciate in value over time, especially if you hold it in high grade or as part of a complete collection.
