Design and Specifications of the 1967 Dime
The 1967 Roosevelt Dime continued the series that began in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who passed away in 1945. This year marked a significant change in U.S. coinage production, as it was the first year since 1837 that no mint marks appeared on any circulating U.S. coins, regardless of where they were minted. This policy was implemented to discourage coin collecting and alleviate coin shortages.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1967 Roosevelt Dimes. While these coins are common in circulated grades, they become increasingly valuable in higher mint state conditions. Coins graded MS65 and above can command significant premiums.
Key factors affecting condition include:
1. Luster: Original mint luster is highly prized, especially if it’s full and vibrant.
2. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with sharp details are more desirable.
3. Surface preservation: Minimal contact marks or blemishes increase value.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance a coin’s appeal and value.

Rarity Scale: Common
Circulation Status: Widely Circulated

Varieties Errors: None significant
Market Demand: Moderate, primarily for high-grade examples
Several factors can influence the value of 1967 Roosevelt Dimes beyond their condition:
1. Historical significance: As the first year without mint marks, these coins hold special interest for some collectors.
2. Full Bands: Coins with fully separated horizontal bands on the torch on the reverse are more valuable.
3. Die varieties: While no major varieties are known, any discovered could be valuable.
4. Preservation: Original, uncleaned coins are preferred by collectors.
5. Set completion: Demand may increase from collectors assembling date sets or larger Roosevelt Dime collections.
