# 1964 Dime Value: What Yours Is Worth

By Mike Moore. Published Oct 8, 2026. Updated Oct 8, 2026. Canonical page: https://dimehound.app/coins/1964-dime-value/

Every 1964 Roosevelt dime is 90% silver, worth about $4.27 in melt at today's silver price. Worn ones retail around $5 to $7 and uncirculated ones around $8 to $11. The 1964-D doubled die reverse variety is worth more, from about $14 worn to around $200 in gem condition.

- **Composition:** 90% silver, 10% copper. 0.0723 oz of pure silver.
- **Mintage:** 929,360,000 Philadelphia (no mint mark) for circulation, 1,357,517,180 Denver (D).
- **Mint mark:** Back of the coin, left of the torch base.

**Melt value: $4.27.** Based on 0.07234 oz of silver at $59.00 per ounce on Oct 8, 2026. Melt value moves with the silver price every day.

| Good (G4) | $5.44 | $14 |
| Fine (F12) | $6.61 | $22 |
| Extremely Fine (EF40) | $7.17 | $41 |
| About Uncirculated (AU50) | $7.52 | $95 |

## What to look for

- Check the edge. A 1964 dime has a solid silver edge, no copper stripe.
- The mint mark is on the back, left of the torch. 1964 dimes with no mark are from Philadelphia.
- On a 1964-D, look at the words on the back with a loupe. The doubled die reverse shows clear doubling on the lettering, most easily on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
- For high grade coins, the horizontal bands on the torch matter. Fully split bands (Full Bands) add a big premium.

## Fakes and lookalikes

- Machine doubling, a flat shelf-like smear next to letters, is common and adds no value. True doubled die letters are rounded and separated.
- Clad dimes from 1965 and later weigh 2.27 grams. A silver dime weighs 2.50 grams.
