Roosevelt Dime series: Struck within a year of FDR's death and timed for his birthday, January 30, 1946 - chosen because of Roosevelt's March of Dimes polio fundraising work. The composition went from 90% silver to copper-nickel clad in 1965, then resumed silver striking for proof sets from 1992 onward. Designed by John R. Sinnock. Struck 1946–present.
The Silver Coinage Act (1964–1965): The Coinage Act of 1965 stripped silver from the dime and quarter entirely and reduced the half dollar to 40% silver. Skyrocketing silver prices and the strain on US silver reserves forced the change. 1964 was the last full-silver year for circulating US coinage - collectors mark the year as the modern silver cutoff.
Use the grade ladder, pricing confidence, and melt floor together before making a buying decision.
