Unveiling the 1997 Roosevelt Dime

The 1997 Roosevelt Dime is part of the series minted since 1946. It honors the 32nd U.S. President.

Most 1997 dimes are made of a copper-nickel clad composition, with a few special collector's editions.

Regular-issue dimes from 1997 typically hold face value, but mint condition coins may fetch a premium.

Proof and silver proof versions from the San Francisco Mint are more valuable, sought by collectors.

Errors, such as off-center strikes or double dies, can significantly increase a 1997 dime's value.

Check for a 'S' mintmark on your dime; it indicates a higher-value San Francisco Mint issue.

Condition matters: Uncirculated or graded coins by services like PCGS can command higher prices.

Special sets, like the 1997 Uncirculated Mint Set, include dimes that can be more collectible.

To determine your dime's worth, consult a coin value guide or a professional coin appraiser.
