1964 Roosevelt Dime - Great Shape

Ah ha. Love the light holder for coin photos. I will do that. So, according to PCGS, a 1964 D Silver coin in MS condition could be worth a little bit, and the photo doesn't do it justice, I'll order that little Ring light, and upload better pictures. Thank you all.

A nice example!

Who only charges $27?

Even if it made MS-66, which is unlikely given the bag mark on the torch, it would be worth less than the cost of grading it. It looks like a very nice coin, but I'd be careful about spending money at PCGS before learning more about grading.

Agree with DearBorn The end price per coin climbs upward to a point it would be financially prohibited to send off this beauty as it is though not of an significant value to justify sending it in to slab.
Dip It Flip It and Slip It in a Sleeve for viewing and preservation.

Good call to hold on this one - it is quite possibly mint state but that big hit on the reverse torch will hold it back from any lofty grade.

To help calibrate you on true certification costs you need to consider all the costs - not just the single coin submission fees.

PCGS charges $69 annually for membership. You must be a member to have submission privileges. The economy submission is $27. You pay postage and insurance both ways so call that another $25 or so. Add all that up for this one coin and you'll see that taking the chance on a potential MS62/MS63 dime is just not worthy of the investment.

Place it in a 2x2 and enjoy it as is.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate all of it. @John1: Yes, I realize MS goes from 60 - 70 and I also realize that PCGS has a membership, but I already joined that. I guess what I didn't realize is that one ding on the back of the coin would degrade it all the way to a 62/63. It's such a beautiful coin. But it is what it is, That said, it does seem though the coins of value are the ones that have been graded 67 or above. The rest, whether EF, AU, or Under 65 are just face value and fun to have. Although I also see on ebay, the market can go anywhere depending on just what a buyer wants.

Round is a great shape
