Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2006 Roosevelt Dimes. For circulation strikes, coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) are more desirable, with premium prices for those grading MS65 and higher. Full Bands (FB) designation is particularly important for Roosevelt Dimes, indicating strong strike quality with fully separated horizontal bands on the torch. Coins with Full Bands can command significant premiums, especially in high grades.
For proof coins, the condition is equally important. Cameo and Deep Cameo designations can add value, with Deep Cameo proofs being the most sought after. PR69 and PR70 grades are highly desirable among collectors.

Luster and toning can significantly impact the value and desirability of 2006 Roosevelt Dimes. Coins with original mint luster are preferred, while attractive, natural toning can sometimes enhance value, particularly for proof issues.
While not typically associated with major errors, any significant mint errors or die varieties discovered on 2006 Roosevelt Dimes could potentially increase their value and collector interest. These might include doubled dies, repunched mint marks, or off-center strikes.
Lastly, the preservation of surface quality is crucial. Coins free from contact marks, scratches, or other imperfections will always command higher premiums, especially in the highest grades where even minor flaws can significantly impact value.
