Design and Specifications of the 2015 Dime
The 2015 Roosevelt Dime continues the long-standing tradition of honoring President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which began in 1946. This design has remained largely unchanged for over 70 years, serving as a testament to Roosevelt’s enduring legacy and his leadership during the Great Depression and World War II.
The dime’s composition of copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core has been consistent since 1965, when the U.S. Mint transitioned away from silver for circulating coinage due to rising silver prices.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2015 Roosevelt Dimes, particularly for circulation strikes. While these coins are common in circulated grades, specimens in pristine, uncirculated condition (MS65 and above) can command a premium.
For circulation strikes, coins with full bands (clearly defined horizontal lines on the torch) are highly sought after and can significantly increase the value. The presence of strong luster and absence of contact marks also contribute to higher grades and values.

Rarity Scale: Uncommon

Preservation Rarity: Common in PR65 and above, as most are well-preserved
Varieties Errors: None significant
Market Demand: Moderate, collected by proof set enthusiasts
Proof coins from San Francisco are generally more valuable than their circulation counterparts. The value of proof coins is heavily dependent on the depth of the cameo contrast between the frosted design elements and mirrored fields. Coins with strong cameo or deep cameo contrast are more desirable to collectors.
Toning can also impact value, with attractively toned specimens often commanding a premium. However, for modern coins like the 2015 dime, toning is less common and less of a factor compared to older silver issues.
While no significant varieties or errors are known for the 2015 dime, any major mint errors (such as off-center strikes, wrong planchet errors, or die cracks) could substantially increase the coin’s value due to their rarity and appeal to error coin collectors.
