Please check your dime again. The last Liberty Head dimes were dated 1945. All dimes made since then carry a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It would be impossibly rare because the last Mercury head dimes were dated 1945. All dimes made since 1946 carry a picture of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
No way. That coin was first issued in 1946 to honor the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. That's why they're called "Roosevelt dimes" .... Ike was still an Army general at that point.
the 1977 dollar has Dwight d Eisenhower on it and is worth 5.00 to 6.00 dollars
The last Liberty (or "Mercury") head dime was minted in 1945 so you cannot have one with a 1949 date. All dimes minted since 1946 carry the familiar portrait of Franklin Roosevelt. Please check the date again and post a new question.
1945 is the last year for Mercury head dimes. 1946 is the first year issue for Roosevelt dimes. No matter, both are very common and most are only valued for the silver, about $2.00.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the head of the HOLC.

A blood vessel burst in his head and he died of internal bleeding.
The last Mercury dimes were minted in 1945. All dimes minted after that are Roosevelt dimes. Silver dimes from that era are worth at least their silver content, about $1.25 as of 03/2010 but can be worth more to a collector. You need to know the coins' specific dates, mint marks, and conditions to get a more accurate valuation.
Roosevelt was chosen to replace Liberty on the dime because he had recently died and some members of congress wanted to honour him on a coin. The dime was chosen because of Roosevelt's efforts with the march of dimes. The Roosevelt dime replaced the Winged head Liberty (Mercury dime) in 1946.
Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the US, was confined to a wheelchair after contracting polio as a young man. In 1938 he created a foundation to raise money for research into a cure or vaccine. Part of its annual fundraising efforts included a campaign called the March of Dimes where each child was asked to contribute a dime themselves and collect dimes from others. Eventually the foundation took that name for all of its efforts. When Roosevelt died unexpectedly in April 1945 there was a groundswell of support to honor him with a coin. His involvement with the March of Dimes made the 10¢ piece the natural choice. The new design entered circulation in 1946, replacing the old Mercury Head design. It was created by artist John Sinnock; if you use a magnifying glass you can see Sinnock's tiny initials "JS" below Roosevelt's image.
