Design and Specifications of the 1944 Dime
The 1944 Roosevelt Dime was minted during World War II, a time of significant silver demand for the war effort. This coin was part of the first full year of Roosevelt Dime production, which began in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had passed away in 1945. The Roosevelt Dime replaced the long-running Mercury Dime design.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1944 Roosevelt Dimes significantly impacts their value. While these coins are common in circulated grades, uncirculated examples can command premium prices, especially in grades MS65 and above. The quality of strike is generally good for this year, but coins with full bands (complete horizontal lines on the torch) are more desirable and valuable.
Luster is an important factor, with coins exhibiting strong, original mint luster being more valuable. Toning can also affect value, with attractively toned specimens often commanding a premium among collectors.

While the 1944 Roosevelt Dime is generally common, certain factors can increase its value:
1. High-grade specimens: Coins in MS67 or above are scarce and valuable.
2. Full Bands (FB): Examples with clear, distinct bands on the torch are more desirable.
3. Attractive toning: Coins with appealing, natural toning can command a premium.
4. Error coins: While no major errors are known for this year, any discovered off-center strikes, double dies, or other errors could be valuable.
5. Historical significance: As a World War II-era coin, some collectors may place additional value on well-preserved examples from this important period in history.
