Double check that date. FDR has been on the dime since 1946.
The 1962 Franklin half dollar is one of the highest mintage of the series, most are valued for the silver at about $11.00.
120,000
THAN, not "then", and not 1962 either. The US didn't print any bills with that date.
In uncirculated condition, it might be worth 10 cents. It's a very common date, and it doesn't contain any precious metals.
5 cents If you found it in pocket change, spend it. Even a high grade Mint State coin is less than a dollar.
1962 is a common year for dimes, so the only value is in the silver content. At present, it's worth about $2.30.
The West Point mint opened in the 1980s and has never struck circulation coins. 1962 dimes were only made at Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (a small D near the base of the torch on the back). At current (08/2008) silver prices either one of these dimes is worth about $1.10.
There are no gold dimes.
Only if "the case" is a slab from a professional grading service used to identify the coin and the grade. If not a circulated coin is about a dollar just for the silver, uncirculated $1.50-$2.00
"JS" is not an identifying mark; it's simply the monogram of the coin's designer John Sinnock. If you look at other dimes in your pocket you'll see that they all have the same marking.That said, up till 1964 US dimes were made of a 90% silver alloy. Although 1962 is a common date, it's still worth at least 0.07 times the current price of 1 ounce of silver. As of 11/2015 that would be about $1.
If the coin has any wear. The value is just for the silver, about$1.50.
No. You almost certainly have a plated coin. Steel cents were only made in 1943, as a copper-conservation measure during WW2. Silver cents have NEVER been minted because they'd be worth more than dimes!
1962 is a common date for Roosevelt dimes. Like all dimes, quarters, and half dollars made up till 1964 these coins were are made of 90% silver and 10% copper which gives them a melt value of about 0.072 times the current price of silver. A dealer will pay half to 2/3 of that amount.
The Barber of Stamford Hill - 1962 is rated/received certificates of: UK:PG
1962 is a relatively common date. Canadian half dollars at the time were 80% silver with 20% copper, and are currently worth about six dollars just for the metal content.
The U.S. never minted a silver penny. It would have more than a dime's worth of silver in it. Your coin has been plated.
It's just a silver Roosevelt dime worth about a dollar
