That’s a nice coin! The photo shows a 2005-S Roosevelt Dime graded PR69DCAM by PCGS.
Here is a breakdown of what that means and an idea of the coin’s value:
🪙 Coin Details & Grading
- 2005-S 10c Roosevelt Dime: This is a dime minted in San Francisco (S mint mark) in 2005. Proof dimes from this year were typically produced in two versions: clad (copper-nickel) and 90% silver. The coin shown is generally the clad version unless the PCGS label specifically indicates “Silver.” However, the PCGS certification number (95310.69) and other information generally correspond to the clad version, which is more common.
- PCGS PR69DCAM: This is the professional grading assigned by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).
- PR (Proof): Indicates the coin was struck using specially prepared dies and planchets, resulting in a mirror-like finish (fields) and frosted design (devices).
- 69: The numerical grade on the Sheldon scale (1-70). PR69 is a very high grade, meaning the coin is virtually fully struck with only minuscule imperfections visible upon close inspection.
- DCAM (Deep Cameo): A designation for Proof coins that exhibit very deep, even frosting on the raised devices (design elements, like the portrait) that strongly contrasts with the mirror-like fields (background). This is a desirable feature.
💰 Estimated Value
The value of a modern clad Proof coin in a high grade like PR69DCAM is generally modest, but depends on the current market demand.
- Approximate Value Range: Based on recent auction results for the clad 2005-S Roosevelt Dime graded PCGS PR69DCAM, these coins typically sell in the range of $7 to $20 USD.
- Factors affecting value:
- Grade 70: A flawless PR70DCAM version commands a higher price, usually in the $20 to $35 range.
- Silver Version: If your coin were the 90% silver version (which would typically have a different PCGS number and a different label design/description), it would have a higher base value due to the silver content and would typically sell for a bit more in the same grade. The one pictured appears to be the clad version.
