Additional Description: A partially filled Whitman folder of Roosevelt dimes, containing mostly silver issues, serves as both a collector’s pursuit and a compact chronicle of mid-20th-century American coinage. Introduced in 1946, shortly after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s death, the dime honors the 32nd president’s leadership through the Great Depression and World War II, as well as his advocacy for polio research. John R. Sinnock’s design, simple yet dignified, marked a shift toward modern portraiture in U.S. coins. The silver dimes—struck from 1946 through1964 in 90% silver—span years of profound national change: postwar prosperity, Cold War anxieties, and civil rights struggles.
