Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2004 Roosevelt Dimes. While circulated examples are extremely common and generally worth only face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium. Coins in MS65 (gem) condition or higher are considerably scarcer and more valuable due to the difficulty in preserving such a high grade through the minting and distribution process.

For proof coins, grades of PR69 and PR70 are highly sought after by collectors, with perfect PR70 examples commanding significant premiums. The presence of strong strikes, full luster, and absence of contact marks or blemishes greatly enhances the value of both circulation strikes and proofs.

Toning can significantly impact the desirability and value of 2004 Dimes. Natural, attractive toning patterns, especially on proof coins, can increase collector interest and value. Additionally, any major mint errors or die varieties, though rare for this year, could potentially add substantial value to a coin.

While not typically considered a key date, 2004 Dimes in exceptionally high grades (MS67+ for circulation strikes or PR70 for proofs) can command strong premiums due to their relative scarcity in such pristine condition. The overall market for modern dimes remains steady, with most interest coming from date set collectors and those assembling high-grade registry sets.
