Design and Specifications of the 2009 Dime
The 2009 Roosevelt Dime continued the long-standing design that has been in use since 1946. This coin was minted during the height of the Great Recession, which had a significant impact on coin production and circulation that year.
The Roosevelt Dime honors President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who led the United States through the Great Depression and most of World War II. The design has remained largely unchanged since its introduction, making it one of the longest-running unchanged coin designs in U.S. history.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 2009 Roosevelt Dimes. While circulated examples are generally worth only face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium, especially in high grades.
For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 and above are desirable, with those grading MS67 and higher being particularly valuable. Proof coins are valued based on their cameo contrast and preservation, with PR69 and PR70 examples being the most sought after.
Factors such as strong strike, full luster, and absence of contact marks significantly enhance the coin’s appeal and value to collectors.

The 2009 Roosevelt Dime, while not rare, has some interesting factors that can affect its value:
1. Low mintage year: Due to the economic recession, fewer coins were produced in 2009 compared to surrounding years, potentially making high-grade examples more desirable in the long term.
2. Full Bands: Dimes with fully separated horizontal bands on the torch on the reverse are more valuable. This is especially true for high-grade examples.
3. Toning: Naturally toned examples, particularly those with vibrant colors, can command a premium among collectors.
4. Error coins: While no significant varieties are known for this year, any major mint errors (such as off-center strikes or wrong planchet errors) would be valuable due to their rarity.
