Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 2001 Roosevelt Dimes. While circulated examples are generally worth only face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium. Coins in MS65 and above are sought after by collectors, with those grading MS67 or higher being particularly valuable due to their scarcity.
For proof coins, grades of PR69 and PR70 are highly desirable. The value increases significantly for perfect PR70 specimens, which show no imperfections even under magnification.

Strike quality is an important factor for 2001 Roosevelt Dimes. Well-struck coins with full bands (complete horizontal lines on the torch) are more valuable and sought after by collectors. Luster also plays a significant role, with coins displaying bright, original mint luster being more desirable.
While not common for this year, any error coins or die varieties could potentially be valuable. These might include doubled dies, off-center strikes, or other minting errors. Additionally, coins with attractive natural toning can command a premium, especially if the toning is vibrant and evenly distributed.
