A roll of 50 Brilliant Uncirculated Roosevelt Dimes, with $5 face value and in grades MS64 or better, represents a highly attractive offering for silver collectors and investors. Each dime is struck from 90% silver (for pre-1965 issues), and a standard roll totals 3.58 troy ounces of silver, making it a cost-effective way to acquire quality silver coins with added numismatic premium.

Recent market listings for BU rolls of 1964 Roosevelt Dimes—one of the most commonly collected dates—show prices around $160 for a full roll, which translates to $3.20 to $3.50 per coin in the current bullion environment. Individual coins certified at MS64 or higher can bring premiums, especially for earlier dates, and pricing within the roll can be elevated for exceptionally clean, well-preserved examples.

Roosevelt Dimes in MS64 or better are appealing for their bright luster, sharp details, and lack of major contacts or blemishes. Each coin features the portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse. Collectors look for full torch separation (“Full Bands”) and other strike characteristics when considering higher Mint State grades.

The melt value alone for 50 silver dimes (pre-1965) exceeds $140 as of August 2025, but numismatic quality can push total market value closer to—or above—$160 per roll, especially if the coins are definitively graded MS64 or higher. Premiums may increase for rolls composed only of choice uncirculated coins with notable eye appeal.

Adding a hot, fresh roll of BU Roosevelt Dimes MS64 or better to a collection or investment portfolio offers a blend of pure American silver, classic design, and the enduring popularity of one of the most trusted U.S. coin series.
