A 1961 dime is worth about $2 to $6, depending on its condition.
The letters JS are not a mint mark. They're the initials of John Sinnock who sculpted Roosevelt's bust as it appears on the coin. Those initials appear on all Roosevelt dimes regardless of where or when they were minted.
It's a Roosevelt dime not a JS dime and all are considered common, value is about $2.00.
It isn't a "JS" (and JS isn't the mintmark, the mintmark, if any would be found on the reverse) dime. It is a Roosevelt Dime, the JS are the designer's initials. It is silver, however, and worth around $2.15 in silver content.
An absolute fortune since Eisenhower isn't on the dime.
The coin is so common even in mint state that value is only a dollar.
Value is about $1.00 and JS is NOT a mint mark it's the designers initials, the mint mark is on the reverse. Obverse mint marks were not used on dimes until 1968

In 1961 the mint mark position was on the back of the coin next to the base of the torch. No mint mark = Philadelphia; D = Denver What you're interpreting as "US" on the front is actually JS, the monogram of the designer John Sinnock.
"JS" are the initials of the coin's designer, John Sinnock. His monogram appears under FDR's portrait Please see the Related Question for more information.
No, the JS refers to the designer's initials. Any mintmark on a dime from 1953 will be found on the reverse to the left of the torch.
Average value is $3.00-$5.00 depending on the condition of the coin.
Unless the coin is in uncirculated or proof condition (in which case it may be worth a couple of dollars), the value of a 1961 US dime is probably just the value of its silver content. As of Dec 5, 2008, that would be about 68 cents.

10 cents. JS stands for John Sinnock, who designed the coin.
