Notes: The 1968 (s) San Francisco minted Franklin D. Roosevelt dimes are proofs, and are worth hanging on to. In addition there are some dimes minted as proofs this year that do not have mint marks by error. This is also the first year that the Roosevelt dimes started placing the mint mark on the front of the coin, just above the date.

How much is a 1968 S Roosevelt Dime worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 10 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $34 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1968, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
