Design and Specifications of the 2010 Dime
The 2010 Roosevelt Dime continues the long-standing tradition of featuring President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse, a design that has been in use since 1946. This coin represents the 65th year of the Roosevelt Dime series, which was introduced to honor FDR's efforts in founding the March of Dimes.
The year 2010 saw the United States continuing to recover from the 2008 financial crisis, making the Roosevelt Dime, with its connection to the Great Depression era, a poignant reminder of economic resilience.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 2010 Roosevelt Dimes significantly impacts their value, especially for higher grades. Circulation strikes in grades MS67 and below are relatively common and carry minimal premium. However, coins graded MS68 and above can command notable premiums due to their scarcity.
For proof coins, the difference between PR69 and PR70 can be substantial in terms of value. Collectors often seek perfectly struck coins with no visible imperfections, making PR70 specimens particularly desirable.

Strike quality is an important factor for 2010 Dimes. Well-struck coins with full bands (complete horizontal lines on the torch) are more desirable and valuable. Luster also plays a crucial role, with coins exhibiting bright, cartwheel luster being more sought after.
For proof coins, cameo and deep cameo contrasts between the frosted design elements and mirrored fields can significantly enhance value. Toning, while less common on modern coins, can add appeal if it's attractive and natural.
While not particularly rare, error coins such as off-center strikes, double dies, or wrong planchets can carry substantial premiums and are highly collectible.
