Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1960 Roosevelt Dimes. Circulated examples are generally worth their silver melt value, while uncirculated coins can command significant premiums.
For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 and above are highly sought after by collectors. Full Bands (FB) designation, indicating fully struck horizontal lines on the torch, can significantly increase value.
For proof coins, cameo and deep cameo contrast between the frosted devices and mirrored fields is highly desirable and can substantially increase value.

Luster quality is an important factor for uncirculated coins. Brilliant, frosty luster is preferred over dull or subdued surfaces.
Strike quality affects value, with sharply struck coins commanding premiums. This is particularly important for the Full Bands (FB) designation.
Toning can significantly impact value. Natural, attractive toning can enhance a coin's appeal and value, while unattractive or artificial toning can decrease value.
As the last year of 90% silver composition before the 1965 change, some collectors may place a premium on high-grade examples of 1960 dimes.
