Design and Specifications of the 1954 Dime
The 1954 Roosevelt Dime continued the series that began in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who passed away in 1945. This coin holds significance as part of the 'silver era' of U.S. coinage, being composed of 90% silver. The Roosevelt Dime design remained largely unchanged since its introduction, symbolizing the continuity of Roosevelt's legacy in American politics and culture.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1954 Roosevelt Dimes significantly impacts their value, particularly for uncirculated examples. Coins in Mint State (MS) grades command premium prices, with those grading MS65 and above being highly sought after by collectors.
For circulation strikes, coins with full bands (FB) on the reverse torch are especially desirable and can command substantial premiums. The presence of original luster and absence of contact marks or wear on high points like Roosevelt's cheek and hair are crucial for higher grades.
Proof coins from San Francisco are valued based on their strike quality, mirror-like fields, and absence of handling marks. Cameo and Deep Cameo contrast between frosted devices and mirrored fields can significantly increase a proof coin's value.

Several factors can influence the value of 1954 Roosevelt Dimes beyond their condition:
1. Silver content: As 90% silver coins, their intrinsic metal value provides a baseline worth.
2. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance appeal and value, especially for uncirculated coins.
3. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with sharp details are more desirable.
4. Preservation: Original, unaltered surfaces are preferred by collectors.
5. Population rarity: Fewer examples in top grades can drive up prices for those coins.
6. Historical significance: As part of the early Roosevelt Dime series, these coins hold appeal for collectors of mid-20th century U.S. coinage.
