1964 D Dime

Notes: 1964 was the last year the Roosevelt dime would be minted in 90% silver because of this the 1964 dime can be considered a date to remember and possibly a better date.

Like all Roosevelt dimes look for the Full Torch or FT, sometimes also listed as FB (full bands), on the coins reverse. This is the gold standard for this coin if you will.
