The 1965 Roosevelt Dime is a piece of U.S. currency, part of the dime series featuring Franklin D. Roosevelt.
This dime is unique as it marks the start of 'clad coinage' in the U.S., with a composition change.
It consists of a copper-nickel clad, with 75% copper and 25% nickel over a pure copper center.
No mint mark dimes from 1965 are common, but those with errors can be more valuable to collectors.
Special characteristics, such as 'Full Bands' on the torch, can increase a dime's collectible value.
Condition is key; 'Uncirculated' or 'Proof' dimes can fetch higher prices than those in circulation.
The 1965 dime is not silver; its value comes from collectibility rather than precious metal content.
Check for rare error types like 'Double Die' or 'Off-Center' strikes, which are prized by numismatists.
To determine the value of your 1965 dime, consult a coin value guide or a professional appraiser.
