If memory serves correct, a 1964-D Roosevelt dime should be 90% silver and was the last year that silver was used in it. Also, it is not just on the very outside surface, if you look at the rim, it goes about halfway into the coin, as if you were looking at a modern Roosevelt dime. As always, any input is greatly appreciated. I am really enjoying this community! Edited by TeeEss86 01/17/2025 04:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

TeeEss86 Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 01/18/2025 09:54 am thank you so much for everyone's great input, I am very glad I chose to join this community of enthusiasts! I also have another 1964-D Roosevelt dime With similar color but in just a few spots. In addition to that which confuses me a bit because of one of the responses is that I'll also have a.1968-D Roosevelt dime which is composed of Copper-Nickle Plated Copper As Roosevelt dimes no longer contained silver after 1964 unless you got a lucky 1965 silver. I have some pictures Of both these other coins. Edited by TeeEss86 01/18/2025 09:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
