The 1972 Dime obverse of the dime depicts President Roosevelt, with the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. Sinnock's initials, JS, are found by the cutoff of the bust, to the left of the Dime 1972 year.
The 1972 Dime reverse shows a torch in the center, representing liberty, flanked by an olive sprig representing peace, and one of oak symbolizing strength and independence. The inscription E PLURIBUS UNUM (out of many, one) stretches across the field. The Inited States of America and One Dime are the legends that surround the reverse design, which is symbolic of the victorious end of World War II.
