It's worth 2 or 3 cents for the copper.unless it is uncirculated. Then it might be up to $2. It would cost you at least a dime to buy one from a dealer, but most of that price is the cost of his time to open the register.
Please check again and post a new question. The first Roosevelt dimes were made in 1946. FDR didn't even become president till 1932. Also, the dimes minted back then were known as the "Barber" dime.
The only president whose picture ever appeared (and still does) on a US dime is Franklin Roosevelt. President Eisenhower's portrait was used on $1 coins dated 1971 to 1978.In any case, if you have a Roosevelt dime dated between 1946 and 1964, it contains 2.25 gm of pure silver alloyed with 0.25 gm of copper. At mid-2011 prices the silver is worth about $2.75 retail. However, depending on date, mint mark, and condition the coin could be worth more to a collector.
Well, honey, in 1946, a loaf of bread cost around 10 cents. Can you believe it? Back in my day, you could practically buy a whole bakery with a dollar! But hey, inflation is a real pain in the tush, am I right?
In order to have a true value, you must have a date to compare it to. For example, $1.10 in 2009 is the same as $0.16 in 1964. How do you figure this? If the dollar were worth 16 cents it would buy 1.6 dimes. Sense the dollar will not buy even one '64 silver dime, how can it be worth 16 cents?
the dime in 1946 was worth $1.40
A 1946 Roosevelt dime is currently worth $4 dollars.
