Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1995 Roosevelt Dimes. While circulated examples are generally worth face value, uncirculated coins can command significant premiums. Coins in MS65 and above are particularly desirable, with those grading MS67 and higher being quite scarce and valuable.
For the West Point (W) special strike, condition is even more critical due to its non-circulating nature and lower mintage. These coins are often found in higher grades, making top-tier examples (MS69 and MS70) particularly valuable to collectors.

The 1995-W Roosevelt Dime is a key factor in the series’ collectibility. As the first Roosevelt Dime minted at West Point, it holds special significance for collectors. Its lower mintage compared to Philadelphia and Denver issues also contributes to its higher value and demand.
Full Bands (FB) designation is an important value factor for Roosevelt Dimes. Coins with clearly defined horizontal lines on the torch bands on the reverse are more desirable and valuable. Strike quality, luster, and eye appeal also play significant roles in determining a coin’s value, especially for higher-grade examples sought by collectors.
For all 1995 Roosevelt Dimes, toning can significantly impact value. Coins with attractive, natural toning patterns are often more desirable to collectors and can command premiums over similarly graded, untoned examples.
