I think this is one of the rarer modern dimes but I can't tell the condition of it with all the crud on it. Doubt it's in that good of shape but still. *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***  |

That's worth face value. I would wash it in the dishwasher, its not going to change its value.

Never clean your coins it will more than likely ruin them . You can give them a soak in Acetone which will not harm metal coins .  |

 . Never clean coins is a general rule. Why do you think the coin is rare? John1  |

I was under the impression that stuff from 82 and 83 where harder to find in good shape.

It's easy to find coin mintages. Do a Google search, type " Roosevelt dime mintages" or other denominations. Sometimes years are common but a particular mint may be scarce, such as Denver mint, San Fransicso mint etc. There are several places on the internet to find coin values as well as books. I often use sold listings on ebay to see how much coins are selling for. Condition is very important to the value. A rare or scarce coin in poor condition will not be worth nearly as much as one in great condition. Many circulating clad coins that are worn or damaged are only worth their face value unless they are a rare variety or mint error. Looks like your worn/damaged dime is worth, a dime.

Yup, right here on CCF, coin facts. I shoulda said that. One can also check the graded coins populations on PCGS, NGC, etc.

I think the op is referring to the fact the mint did not release mint sets in '82 & '83. Thus, these years do have a small premium but are not rare. This very small premium only starts in almost uncirculated condition so a coin would have to look almost like it just left the mint facility to be worth anything above face value. Anything worth saving realistically starts in uncirculated condition and even those are a buck or two in lower uncirculated condition with one exception, the quarters in nice AU condition are a few dollars and sell regularly on ebay. Basically, if you have to 'clean' a coin to find out if it's in good condition, that's a non-starter. Edited by captainkurt

It is a common coin. If you are wanting to experiment with "cleaning" coins, this is a good one to experiment with since there is no value above face. I suggest you try a acetone soak for a few hours with a light rub of the surface with a Q-tip, and then a distilled water rinse. A good way to get accustomed to "cleaning".

The only one that has any value is the no P . The mintmark was omitted by error

Yep I agree too. Do not, do not clean coins. Something bad always happens.
