I’m believe this is a silver dime i didn’t see any from the little I looked on pcgs of this quality. I could be wrong,any opinions
1964 was the last year the mint used 90%, so it's a keeper, or melt value of about $1.31, according to http://www.coinflation.com/coins/silver_calc.php
pcgs said a ms 66 sold 4 $3600. the pic that it shows looks a bit worse than mine.i dont believe it was a error or anything. does anyone no why that might be
You do have a nice collectible dime. It is not an MS66 though. Keep in mind too that 1964 was the last year the mint produced silver coins so a lot of people hoarded them meaning that today there are plenty of well preserved 1964 dimes. Yes it is cool and collectible, but not at all a high value coin.
Yours is definitely not a 66. Check out all the dings and scratches on Roosevelt's face. Still a nice collectable coin though that you should be proud to own.
if you use this as a visual comparison https://www.pcgs.com/photograde#/Roosevelt/Grades 1 - Ignore toning on the website 2 - look at the fine details such as the hair, the lines on the torch, etc. 3 - make sure there are no minor scratches, or dings, etc for comparison. 4- compare sections at a time (a) if the rim ding free? (b) is the flat surface scratch free and show luster, (c) lettering, etc etc etc. start comparing thing individually by each letter, by part of the head (hair, ear, eyes, chin, etc). Learn to be very discerning ... like any hobby where there is any type of grading .. it's like being at a car show. only the most perfect car with not a minor scratch on it will get the highest grade/rating. Even the most minor things that you think don't matter, actually do matter. You have to be the most picky in comparison to understand grading.
