Roosevelt dime history
The Roosevelt dime’s obverse features a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt. While on the reverse is a flaming torch and an olive and oak branch. These three symbols represent America’s freedom, peace, strength, and independence.
The coin's designer is a debatable subject. Some believe that it was designed by John Ray Sinnock, the chief engraver of the US Mint. Others think that it was a sculptor named Selma Burke, who created the president's image. The initials of Sinnock appear on the first proofs and circulated coins in 1946. However, the image used on the coin looks almost identical to a base-relief given as a gift to the President by Burke five years before the coin was created. Soon after the coin was minted Selma Burke, raised claims that her image had been used to produce the coin.

Most coins sell for between $5 and $10 dollars, depending on their grade and condition. MS63 coins are valued at $5, while MS65 at $10.
