The 1953 Roosevelt Dime is a piece of US coinage history, minted in the early Cold War era.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, these dimes are more valuable than their face value.
Mint marks 'D', 'S', and no mark indicate Denver, San Francisco, and Philadelphia mints.
Dimes without a mint mark are often more common and less valuable than 'D' or 'S' marked coins.
Condition grades like 'Good', 'Fine', 'Extra Fine', affect the dime's value significantly.
Uncirculated dimes with no wear can fetch higher prices among collectors.
Special features like Full Bands on the torch can increase a dime's value.
1953 proof dimes, with their mirror-like finish, are sought after and command premium prices.
Always consult a professional coin appraiser to accurately assess your 1953 Roosevelt Dime.
