Description
The 1974 (D) Roosevelt Dime is a dime from the Denver Mint, belonging to the Roosevelt Dimes Clad and Silver Proof 1965 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 571.1 million examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 55% 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. Struck after the transition from silver to clad coinage, as the Mint adapted to modern production methods and record-breaking mintages. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $3 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 2.27 grams, 17.9 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5146.
