President Franklin Roosevelt was honored the year after his death with the introduction of the Roosevelt dime in the United States in 1946; it is still used to this day. Like previous dimes (Mercury, Barber, et cetera) the Roosevelt was at first made mostly of silver; however, in 1965 the silver was removed from subsequent Roosevelt dimes in favor of a copper and nickel makeup.
There have been several proof sets and various collectible versions of the Roosevelt dime over the years; other collectors try to build a complete set of all years and/or all mints. Those interested in silver coinage may concentrate on Roosevelt dimes minted before 1965. Whatever your style, look through the current listings and see what you can find from the several vendors represented.
