Design and Specifications of the 2002 Dime
The 2002 Roosevelt Dime continues the long-standing design introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This coin marks the 56th year of the Roosevelt Dime series, which has been a staple of American coinage for over half a century.
The year 2002 saw the United States continuing to recover from the economic impacts of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and these dimes played a role in the everyday commerce of a nation moving forward.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of a 2002 Dime significantly impacts its value, particularly for higher grades. While circulated examples are generally worth face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium.
For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 to MS67 are relatively common, but MS68 and above are scarce and valuable. Proof coins are valued based on their perfection, with PR69 being common but PR70 examples commanding higher prices.
Factors such as full bands (fully separated horizontal lines on the torch) can increase value, as can exceptional luster and strike quality.

Toning can significantly impact the value of 2002 Dimes. Natural, attractive toning can enhance a coin's appeal and value, particularly for proof issues.
Die varieties or errors, while not common for this year, could potentially add value if discovered. These might include doubled dies, repunched mint marks, or off-center strikes.
The overall eye appeal of the coin, combining factors like strike, luster, and surface preservation, plays a crucial role in determining its value among collectors.
