What is the value of 1964 Eisenhower dime?
There never was an Eisenhower dime. The dime the US Mint was producing in 1964 was the Roosevelt Dime, so named in honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Dwight D. Eisenhower did not appear on any US coins until 1971, and at that time his likeness appeared on the One Dollar coin. It was the first time that a One Dollar coin had been minted since 1935. Additionally, Dwight Eisenhower was alive in 1964 so his portrait could not appear on a circulating coin with that date since living persons cannot appear on circulating US coins.If you have a circulated Roosevelt dime with that date, as of 08/2009 it's worth about $1.06 for the silver it contains. Uncirculated coins command higher values.
