Did one similar to this in 2023 that was fun! To everyone, Freedom means something different in life and also here in coins. Please Post a coin or two that speaks freedom to you. To me and the internet, freedom is clearly depicted on the back of Roosevelt dimes with the "torch" being there which symbolizes "liberty" and therefore freedom or something like that. Here's the meaning explained.... "Torch as a Symbol of Liberty The torch featured on the reverse side of the Roosevelt Dime holds great symbolism. It represents liberty and enlightenment, a key aspect of the American identity."

Without question it was this one. I saw it in the Redbook when I was a pimple faced teen and was in awe of the USA design and recognizing that when this coin was struck that the USA was in its infancy. This coin burned in my brain my entire life and it was a very special day to me when I finally acquired it several years back.
