Design and Specifications of the 1963 Dime
The 1963 Roosevelt Dime was part of the series introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who passed away in 1945. This was the last year that dimes were minted with 90% silver content before the Coinage Act of 1965 changed the composition to copper-nickel clad.
The year 1963 was significant in American history, marked by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which adds historical context to coins from this period.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1963 Roosevelt Dimes. While circulated examples are generally worth their silver melt value, uncirculated coins can command significant premiums, especially in high grades.
For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 and below are relatively common, but MS66 and MS67 examples become progressively scarcer and more valuable. Coins with full bands (clear horizontal lines on the torch) are particularly desirable and command higher premiums.
For proof coins, grades of PR67 and below are common, but PR68 and above can be quite valuable, especially with deep cameo contrast.

Several factors can influence the value of 1963 Roosevelt Dimes beyond their condition:
1. Silver content: As the last year of 90% silver dimes, these coins have intrinsic value based on their precious metal content.
2. Toning: Attractive, natural toning can enhance a coin's appeal and value, especially on proof issues.
3. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with sharp details, particularly those with full torch bands, are more desirable.
4. Historical significance: Being minted in the year of JFK's assassination adds a layer of historical interest for some collectors.
5. Preservation: Original, unaltered surfaces are highly valued, especially for uncirculated and proof coins.
