Design and Specifications of the 2017 Dime
The 2017 dime continues the long-standing Roosevelt dime design, first introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This year marked a significant milestone as it was the first time since 1945 that the Philadelphia Mint included a ‘P’ mint mark on circulating dimes, celebrating the mint’s 225th anniversary.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 2017 dimes, especially for collectors seeking high-grade examples. Circulation strikes in MS65 or higher grades can command a premium, while proof coins are valued based on their cameo contrast and absence of handling marks.
The addition of the ‘P’ mint mark on Philadelphia-minted dimes this year adds a slight numismatic interest, potentially increasing demand for high-grade examples from this mint.

Strike quality is particularly important for Roosevelt dimes, with fully struck examples (showing complete bands on the torch) being more desirable. Luster quality can significantly impact value, with coins exhibiting strong, cartwheel luster being more sought after.
While not common in modern coinage, any major mint errors or varieties could substantially increase a coin’s value. However, no significant errors or varieties are widely known for 2017 dimes.
The historical significance of the ‘P’ mint mark addition may lead to increased long-term collector interest in high-grade Philadelphia-minted examples from this year.
