Roosevelt was closely associated with the "March of Dimes" charitable campaign against birth defefects. And with this, all the work to beautify our coinage under Teddy Roosevelt was completely undone and we had dead Presidents on all our coinage, the Cent, Nickel, Quarter and finally the Dime. The Portrait was lifted from a previous medal design which was created by sculptor Selma Burke and then adapted to the coin by Mint cheif engraver John Sinnock. The resulting Obverse is actually rather pleasant although to my eye the Protrait could as well look like Harry truman as Roosevelt. <img src="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/roosevelt_plaque.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Selma Burke's Plaque of Franklin Roosevelt <img src="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/images/proofsets/dime_600.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>John Sinnock protrait of Franklin Roosevelt on the US Dime The reverse of the Dime has a torch, an oak branch and an olive branch.
