Description
The 1949 Roosevelt Dime is a dime produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Roosevelt Silver Dimes 1946-1964 series. With a mintage of 30.9 million, this is a less common issue — the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 44% of the year's 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. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $7 to $51 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 #5091.
