{{/presale}}After President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s passing in April 1945, the nation honored him by featuring his bust on the US Dime. Crafted by John R. Sinnock, the 8th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, Roosevelt’s portrait made its debut in 1946, replacing the iconic Mercury Dime. Today, you can find 1970s Franklin D. Roosevelt Dimes with the Torch Reverse right here at BGASC.
Highlights:
Each of these 1970s Franklin D. Roosevelt Dimes boasts the Torch Reverse and is plated with 24-karat gold. The set comprises 20 coins, all minted between 1970 and 1979. While they all originate from the 1970s, we cannot guarantee whether your set will feature varying or matching date marks.
Obverse
On the obverse, you’ll find a dignified portrait of President Roosevelt, known for his comforting “fireside chats” – radio broadcasts where he spoke directly to the American people during crises such as the Great Depression and World War II.
Reverse
The reverse design features Sinnock’s portrayal of a lit torch, flanked by olive and oak branches. The olive branch symbolizes peace, while the oak branch signifies strength and achievement.
History
Roosevelt was president when the United States entered World War II following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. His response to the attack, including his famous “Day of Infamy” speech delivered to Congress the next day, galvanized the nation’s resolve to enter the war.
