Description
The 1949 (D) Roosevelt Dime, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the Roosevelt Silver Dimes 1946-1964 collection. With a mintage of 26.0 million, this is a less common issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 37% of production. The obverse features Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left, honoring the president who championed the March of Dimes and the reverse displays a torch flanked by olive and oak branches, symbolizing liberty, peace, and strength. Lower mintages across all three mints make 1949 issues semi-key dates for the series. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $7 to $30 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 2.5 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5092.
