    Hi, I'm new to collecting and wondering about information on this coin and possibly what year it's from?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm guessing 1920 only by comparing the loop on the visible 9 to the loop om the last digit. It looks to be more open like a 0. Just my guess. You might see it better in hand. Welcome to CT.

    Yes it does look like 1920. Anything special besides it being a really cool 100 year old dime?

    Thanks. I just got a roll of dimes mainly from 1946 - 1964. Are there any years or other things to look for that would yield more than melt value?

    I think you may have more replies if you started a new thread for your Roosevelt Dimes. All of the silver Roosevelt Dimes (1945-64)have high mintage numbers making them relatively common. Only mint state (MS) have some value over melt, the exception being Doubled Die coins. (Or error coins). Some better dated dimes may have some value even in XF 40 and above. Just my opinion. :)

    1920-S or 1926-S?

    In hand you might be able to get a better read on the last digit.
