What drives this coin's value

Condition, mint state grades, and rare mint errors significantly impact value, but standard circulated modern dimes are worth only face value.

Grade assessment

Poor / Damaged / Cull

Mintage & rarity

High mintage, extremely common. Hundreds of millions were minted.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Counterfeiting modern clad dimes is virtually non-existent due to their low face value.

Notable varieties & errors

No significant major variety for this specific date beyond typical modern striking errors (e.g., clipped planchet, broadstrike).

Similar coins

Earlier Mercury dimes (1916-1945), though the designs are distinctly different.

Care & preservation

Store in a dry environment in a 2x2 cardboard flip or plastic pocket if keeping as a novelty. No special cleaning is recommended as it has no numismatic value above face value.
