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 and 'D' from Denver. No mintmark indicates Philadelphia.
High-grade, uncirculated dimes or those with Full Bands on the torch can fetch higher values.
Proof coins, specially minted for collectors, are more valuable and have a mirror-like finish.
Condition is key; dimes graded by PCGS or NGC can determine the precise value of the coin.
Average circulated 1961 dimes are worth their silver content, but rare errors can increase value.
Special attention to 'Double Die' dimes, where misprints can make the coin more collectible.
Keep an eye on market trends; silver prices and collector demand can influence dime values.
Store your dimes properly to prevent damage and preserve their value over time.
Consult with coin experts or attend coin shows to learn more and potentially appraise your dimes.
