The answer

The 1964-D Roosevelt Dime is a common date from the Denver Mint, with 1,357,517,180 pieces struck. In circulated grades (G-4 to EF-40) our estimate is $5⁠–⁠$6, and a well-preserved MS-65 example is estimated at $16⁠–⁠$20. Circulated coins of this date trade at or just above the value of their metal, so the live melt value on this page is the best guide to a worn coin.

The highest mintage of the series: more than 1.3 billion struck.
