Also if you have it in a special thing that holds it that is in mint condition that shows which state and other stuff then that can bring up the value a lot.

To a collector of dimes, yes. To be collectible merely means that there is someone out there who would collect it. If you mean valuable that is different from collectible as not all collectible coins have much value. 1960 dimes are common and worth their melt value in silver about $2 right now. Exceptionally well preserved, or mint state coins will have an added premium worth in the $10 range.

Unless there's a small C next to the date, it's only worth about $2.50 retail; a dealer will pay face value. 1953-C $2 bills are a bit more valuable, and can be worth roughly $3 to $6 depending on how worn they are.

This coin has a silver value of about $10 being 80% pure. 1956 was a low mintage year with less than 140,000 of these coins minted. There are many of these coins on the market and the price appears to be depressed due to lack of attention to the rarity. It is the lowest mintage since the rare 1948 coin and lower than any other such coin since the 1930s and earlier when there were lower mintages. An average price for this coin in above average condition is about $20. It should appreciate in value as silver prices continue to rise and the rarity of the coin is also noticed by more people.
