Hello all!  Today I was sorting all the Roosevelt dimes, here's a group shot of all the pre-60s ones. Should all be silver from what I read? We go a 47, three 49, a 50, 53 and 57. Is the 57 supposed to be silver as well? It has a different toning as all the others. Most are from Philly but the 47 and 53 are from Denver. Do you see something worthy of further investigation in the lot? If so will post better pics  Any of them are from (semi)key dates or rarer than the others?   Thank you!  |

Yes, all of those are 90% silver.
I see some nice coins in average circulated condition - nothing that jumps out as 'special' other than USA silver in Italy.

Agree, all silver and most look like they're in good shape, but they're all common dates.

1964 and before are all 90% silver. Nice ones you got there. Errers and Varietys.

They may be all common dates, but at least you didn't get stuck with 7 1964 dimes. It seems like exactly 50% of silver dimes I find are 1964. The 52 and 57 are in better condition.

These coins were widely available in circulation up until the crazy silver boom created by the Hunt Brothers. Early 1980's I think. Silver actually hit $50/ounce. Stack em up, No Numismatic value.

Nice group of bullion related silver dimes. Don't see anything in there of collector attention.

Technically the book value will be 90% Silver on all of them but the 1949 at the top and the 1950 have pretty enough toning that I as a dealer would 2X2 them --- some people do collect pre 1965 Roosevelts for a circulated set and so those two are nice enough not to throw in your Silver bag.
