What is a JS dime?

Answer:
It's simply a common Roosevelt dime. "JS" are the initials of the coin's designer, John Sinnock. His monogram appears under FDR's portrait

When the coin was introduced after Roosevelt's death, an urban legend grew up that the initials actually stood for Josef Stalin. Unfortunately that rumor has been perpetuated up to the present time and no amount of truth seems to be able to dislodge it.
