Here is a good example of a regular coin worth regular money. CoinTrackers.com estimates the value of a 1972 Roosevelt dimes in average condition to be worth 10 cents, while one in mint state could be valued around $36.

1975 No-S Roosevelt Dime

The 1975 No-S proof Roosevelt dime is one of the most valuable of all modern coins. Just two known specimens exist. The most recent sale raised nearly a half-million dollars ($456,000) due to its scarcity, per CoinValueChecker.

1998-P Bonded Group of Roosevelt Dimes

A true oddity. The Philadelphia mint made over a billion dimes in 1998, so even an uncirculated coin from this year can be yours for a couple of bucks.

1999-D Roosevelt Dime

While one of these “Type 2 Clad Regular Strike” error strike dimes sold in “brilliant uncirculated condition” for $14,375 in 2009, one in average condition will only net you only a few dollars.
