Description
A dime from the Philadelphia Mint, the 1982 (P) Roosevelt Dime belongs to the Roosevelt Dimes Clad and Silver Proof 1965 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 519.5 million examples, making this the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 33% of total 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. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $249 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 #5161.
