What Is the 1957 Roosevelt Dime Made Of?
The 1957 dime is part of the Roosevelt dime series issued in 1957. Since this coin is old and is made of silver, it should be a nice addition to your collection.
When it comes to composition, the 1957 dime is made of 90% silver and 10% copper. It has a diameter of 17.9 millimeters, a weight of 2.5 grams, and a value of 10 cents.
Historically, the Roosevelt dime started to enter circulation in 1946, a year after the passing of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was quite a disheartening death for the fallen leader since Roosevelt didn’t live to see the end of World War II when the United States and its allies won.
The dime was chosen as a tributary coin for Roosevelt since the 32nd president was a prime mover for establishing the March of Dimes organization.
Regarding design, the obverse features the left-facing image of Roosevelt. Inscriptions are also included, which are the following:
LIBERTYIN GOD WE TRUST1957Designer’s initialsOn the reverse, you’ll find three images: the olive branch, Liberty Torch, and oak branch. On top arches the inscription, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” Below the coin arches the denomination of the coin, “ONE DIME.” The US motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” runs across the back of the coin.
The designer of the 1957 Dime is John R. Sinnock. However, there’s an ongoing debate that the original designer was Selma Burke. No matter who designed the 1957 dime, there’s no doubt that it is one of the most enduring designs in US coin history.
