What is the value of a 1945 dime?

The numismatic value of a 1945 dime depends on its condition and variety. The following are the approximate values of 1945 dimes in different grades:

- Good (G): $1.50

- Very Good (VG): $2.50

- Fine (F): $3.50

- Very Fine (VF): $5

- Extremely Fine (EF): $8

- Uncirculated (UNC): $15

There are two varieties of 1945 dimes: the "normal" variety and the "Denver mint" variety. The Denver mint variety has a "D" mint mark below the year, and it is slightly scarcer than the normal variety. The Denver mint variety is worth about 10% more than the normal variety.

In addition to the condition and variety, the value of a 1945 dime can also be affected by other factors, such as its history, rarity, and desirability. For example, a 1945 dime that has been certified by a third-party grading service will be worth more than a similar dime that has not been certified. Similarly, a 1945 dime that is part of a complete set or collection will be worth more than a similar dime that is not part of a set or collection.
