The 1971 dime is part of the Roosevelt series, minted since 1946.
Most 1971 dimes are made of a copper-nickel clad composition.
Circulated 1971 dimes hold face value, but uncirculated coins can be worth more.
Special mint sets or proof coins from 1971 have higher collector value.
Errors, like off-center strikes, can increase a 1971 dime's value.
Condition is key; 'Full Bands' on the torch can indicate a higher-grade dime.
Check for the 'D' mint mark; dimes minted in Denver may be more valuable.
1971 no-S proof dimes are extremely rare and sought after by collectors.
Always consult a professional coin appraiser to accurately assess your 1971 dime's value.
