Design and Specifications of the 2018 Dime
The 2018 dime continues the long-standing Roosevelt dime design, first introduced in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt after his death in 1945. This coin represents over 70 years of consistent design, making it one of the longest-running unchanged coin designs in U.S. history.
The Roosevelt dime holds significance as a testament to Roosevelt's leadership during the Great Depression and World War II, as well as his connection to the March of Dimes charity, which he founded to combat polio.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2018 dimes, particularly for higher-grade specimens. While circulated examples hold little premium over face value, uncirculated coins in grades MS65 and above can command higher prices.
For circulation strikes, coins with full bands (complete horizontal lines on the torch) are highly sought after and can carry significant premiums. Proof coins are valued based on their cameo contrast and the absence of any imperfections.

Strike quality is particularly important for 2018 dimes. Well-struck coins with sharp details, especially on Roosevelt's hair and the torch's flames, are more desirable. Luster also plays a significant role, with coins displaying bright, satiny, or frosty luster being more valuable.
For proof coins, deep cameo contrast between frosty devices and mirrored fields can add to the value. Toning, while not typically a major factor for modern coins, can increase value if it's attractive and natural. Any mint errors or die varieties, though rare for 2018 dimes, would significantly increase value if discovered.
