The 1961 Roosevelt Dime is a piece of US currency, minted in silver, with historical and collector significance.
Two versions exist: 'P' mintmark from Philadelphia (no mark) and 'D' from Denver.
Most 1961 dimes are common, but high-grade or proof coins can be valuable.
Proof dimes, with mirror-like surfaces, were made for collectors and carry higher value.
Condition is key: 'Uncirculated' or 'MS' grades are more sought after by collectors.
Special features like 'Full Bands' on the torch can increase a dime's value.
Check for rare errors, such as off-center strikes or double die, which can be valuable.
The silver content alone makes each dime worth more than face value due to its 90% silver composition.
Consult coin value guides or a professional appraiser to accurately assess your dime's worth.
