Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1947 Roosevelt Dimes significantly impacts their value. While circulated examples are common and often worth only their silver content, uncirculated specimens can command substantial premiums. Coins in MS65 (Gem Uncirculated) condition are desirable, but those grading MS66 and above are scarce and highly sought after by collectors.
Key factors affecting condition include:
1. Luster: Original mint luster should be bright and unbroken.
2. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full details are more valuable.
3. Surface preservation: Minimal contact marks or blemishes are crucial for higher grades.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value, especially for San Francisco minted coins.

Several factors can influence the value of 1947 Roosevelt Dimes beyond their condition:
1. Silver content: As 90% silver coins, they have intrinsic bullion value.
2. Mint mark: San Francisco issues, having the lowest mintage, may command slight premiums.
3. Full Bands: Coins with fully split bands on the torch reverse are more valuable.
4. Historical significance: As an early year of the Roosevelt Dime series, some collectors place added value on 1947 issues.
5. Set completion: Demand may increase from collectors assembling date and mint mark sets.
