Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2000 Roosevelt Dimes. While circulated examples are generally worth face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium. Coins in MS65 and above are sought after by collectors, with MS67 and MS68 specimens being particularly desirable.
For proof coins, grades of PR69 and PR70 are highly valued. The presence of full bands (clearly defined horizontal lines on the torch) can significantly increase the value, especially in higher grades.

Strike quality is particularly important for 2000 Roosevelt Dimes. Well-struck coins with sharp details, especially on Roosevelt’s hair and the torch on the reverse, are more valuable. Luster also plays a significant role, with coins exhibiting strong, cartwheel luster being more desirable.
While not common, any error coins from 2000, such as off-center strikes or doubled dies, could carry substantial premiums. Additionally, coins with attractive, natural toning may appeal to collectors and potentially command higher prices in the marketplace.
