Any help for this newbie is appreciated :) I have three silver Roosevelt dimes that I am trying to place a value on. I am completely new to this and other coins I own and have researched seem to all fall in line with values. These appear to be all over the map price wise. For example, I have a 1963 D which some sites show values in the hundreds even thousands for certain ones vs the opposite side of the spectrum which equates to silver melt :) I have read a desirable feature is distinguished bands or "full torch" which mine do seem to have two separated distinguished bands on the torch both top and bottom. I apologize for the pictures as they are from a camera phone and I had to make them a bit dark to see some detail. Even so, the camera phone doesn't do them justice in my opinion. Definitely more detail than the camera will show. Any advice or help? What should I be looking for. Thanks so much in advance! Oh, they are 1958, 1963 D, and 1964 D all in similar condition, which I will describe as slight wear. |

They are worth around $1.50 to $5.00.  |

Thanks for the reply! What makes the ones of the same year and mint mark so valuable, like in the hundreds of dollars range? I saw some that definitely were not uncirculated that sold for crazy $$ Anyone?

Hi JJHFL, the only ones that could sell for hundreds or thousands are very high graded or errors. Please click this ebay link to get better understanding of how they should look; First one, Grade MS-67, Year 1963 D http://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-D-NGC-...em589fa7bbceNow you see that one is in that special kind of holder? That's call a third party graded coin. PCGS, NGC, and ANACS are the recommended coin grading service. It's not necessary to SEND any coin in for grading. You should only send coins in that are worth good amounts of money or will receive a high grade. You said your coins have light wear, well if they do then you could only get around $5.00 or LESS each. To be more realist, I would say maybe 2 dollars. They're worth $1.20 in silver. Now since the one I gave you the link to was in a very high grade, that makes the value for it jump by a very lot. Yours doesn't seem like one worth much. Most people call common date silver coins junk silver. The dimes you have, I would just call them junk silver also. I got like 15 of them in grades you spoken about. If you try to sell those to a dealer or someone who buys silver, you might only get 3 dollars for them all. ebay might get you like six dollars or something for them all. Edited by solotime

There are some real good Dime people here who, will help with "Full Torch." |

bpoc1, the one he posted didn't look like the full torch. In fact the flame looks worn.

In fact the flame looks worn. Solotime, to be "Full Torch" the lower two bands have a complete separation. Nothing to do with the flame. I believe. As for the OP "JJHFL" hang in here and better knowledge will happen. |

bpoc1, I believe you're right! Sorry, I got the grading mixed up with the full flame thing. In order for the dimes to be "high or good"grades, they need the flame to show some details. Example, the flame can't be worn down very bad and be called high grade.
And it's called Full band not full torch. It could be a full band, But can't say 100%, I can't see the top one that great.

I'm not a Dynex. But I believe that you get the full split band designation all the bands have to be split. And any noticeable wear will usually keep a coin from getti.g that.designation. I b elive. Like I saidim not a dime expert and my dime collection is noce but nothing special... yet.

If you take a sharp look at the top band, you can see the second line is worn. On the link mackwork posted, you can see both lines and full bands. So therefore I changing my guess to Not a full band. Same pictures but edit...   Edited by solotime

A PCGS graded 1963-D "FB" in MS65 is worth $40 to $59. One in MS66 is worth $160 to $500. I would say the same in NGC's "FT" grading may be about 10% less. This may be where your high values come in at. A lot of Roosevelts are sold ungraded as Full Torch or Full Bands also. That is probably where you see the higher prices. Just look if its designated as FB or FT. Some of the years are worth a few thousand. Coin collectors are weird so dont try and understand us just join us and enjoy yourself. Dont be afraid to ask any questions here on the Forum.
Just my opinion
