The 1955 Roosevelt Dime is a coveted piece among collectors, minted in a time of economic prosperity in the USA.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this dime features President Franklin D. Roosevelt's profile.
Two versions exist: the regular strike for circulation and the proof version for collectors.
The 1955-S dime is sought after, with a mintage of 18.5 million, the lowest of the era.
Value hinges on condition, with uncirculated coins fetching higher prices than those in circulation.
A full bands designation, indicating sharp detail on the torch, can significantly increase a dime's value.
Proof coins, especially those with no wear and mirror-like surfaces, are premium items for collectors.
Error coins, such as those with a double die or off-center strikes, are rare and highly prized.
Keep an eye out for the 1955 'Bug's Bunny' error, where Roosevelt appears to have buck teeth.
To maintain value, store your 1955 Roosevelt Dime in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
