Does the Roosevelt dime have a key date.

I can not think of any that would be considered a key date. I am not counting the 1996w for obvious reasons.

The Washington quarter has the 1932 d and s.

The Jefferson nickel has the 1950 d.

The Lincoln Cent has the 1909 s vdb, 1914d, 1922 no d.

Depends what you mean by "key date" I suppose. Some might say that Eisenhower and Susan B. series lack a key date.

I guess it depends on your definition on how expensive a coin has to be in order to be considered a key date. Even the 1996-W is readily available on ebay for less than $20.

Right, depends on grade. Excluding FBL, there is really no key date in the Franklin series.

Would that apply to the 1970 d with a 1968 proof reverse!


Edit: actually, the 1968 proof reverse has been on the1969, 1970p, and 1970d

Twelve million coins is still 12 million coins, but that still qualifies the 1955-P as a key date, at least to me. Compared to all the other dates, it's a paltry number. (Or as Groucho Marx would have said, "Mere chicken feed--a poultry 12 million.")

And I guess you're not considering the 1982-P no mintmark dime?

There's also the '75-no-S with only 2 known.

There are about 8 known 1965 90% silver dimes.

While the '82-nmm is interesting people are going to be surprised how elusive the '82-P is in well made and pristine condition. This coin was horribly made and few were saved.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

That was my first thought.

The two 2014 March of Dime Silver Set dimes come to mind as well.

When I was a kid, everyone knew the 1973-S silver proof was the key date.

"Key date" is a relative term.
Ignoring errors, a key date is the coin from a series that has more value than the others in that series.
For the Roosevelt dime series I would looks at these as keys:
-- 1949
-- 1949 S
-- 1950 D
As for semi-keys I think these two:
-- 1949 D
-- 1951 S

How did they earn this status?
Generally for modern coins it's just that fewer were struck.
For older coins you can factor in survival rate.

A huge example of the "survival rate" factor is the 1933 Double Eagle.
It is not even close to the fewest struck in the Saint-Gaudens series.
BUT almost all were melted.
There is only one legal to own and any others existing are either in US Government hands or VERY carefully hidden away by a private citizen.
I think the Gov't has 10 in Ft Knox that were confiscated and I believe the Smithsonian has two.
