Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2005 Roosevelt Dimes. While circulated examples are worth face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium. Coins in MS65 or higher grades are considerably scarcer and more valuable due to the difficulty in preserving such a small coin in pristine condition.
For proof coins, grades of PR69 and PR70 are highly sought after by collectors, with perfect PR70 examples commanding significant premiums. The presence of deep cameo contrast can further enhance the value of proof specimens.

Strike quality is particularly important for Roosevelt Dimes. Well-struck examples with full bands (complete horizontal lines on the torch) are more desirable and valuable. Luster also plays a significant role, with coins exhibiting bright, cartwheel luster being more appealing to collectors.
While not common, any major minting errors or varieties could significantly increase the value of a 2005 Dime. These might include off-center strikes, double dies, or other striking errors. However, no major varieties are known for this year.
Toning can also impact value, with attractively toned specimens often commanding premiums among collectors who appreciate naturally developed color.
