Add a high-grade silver classic to your collection with this 1964 Roosevelt Dime, certified MS65FB by PCGS. This coin represents the final year of 90% silver dimes issued for circulation in the United States, making it especially significant among collectors and investors alike.
The 1964 issue marks the end of an era, as rising silver prices soon led to the transition to clad coinage in 1965. As a result, 1964 dimes are highly sought after not only for their historical importance but also for their intrinsic silver content.
Graded Mint State 65 with Full Bands (MS65FB), this coin is considered Gem Uncirculated and exhibits sharp strike quality with minimal marks. The “Full Bands” designation indicates exceptional detail in the horizontal bands of the torch on the reverse—an important feature that adds significant premium and desirability among collectors.
With brilliant luster, strong eye appeal, and top-tier certification from PCGS, this coin stands out as a premium example of a pre-1965 silver Roosevelt dime.
