Description
A 1982 Roosevelt Dime featuring the 'D' mint mark indicating production in Denver. This is a common circulation strike coin. It features the profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and an olive branch, torch, and oak branch on the reverse.
Key Features
1982 date, 'D' Denver mint mark, standard copper-nickel clad composition. High mintage year with over 500 million produced.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic US Currency. Design elements, mint mark placement, and strike quality are consistent with Denver Mint standards for 1982. Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
Heavy circulation wear, surface abrasions, lack of 'Full Torch' detail on reverse (estimated based on obverse wear), and dull luster. No rare errors (like the 1982 No P dime) are present on this D-mint mark coin.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Local coin shop (bulk), eBay (only if part of a year set), or simply spend as currency.
Selling Tips
Because shipping costs exceed the value of the coin, this item is not recommended for individual resale. It is best kept for a personal collection or spent as face value. It only gains significant value in MS-67 grade or higher, which this specimen does not meet.
