Any of the three mintmarks can bring you in (or cost you) $12 to $45. The lowest value mintmark for the 1949 Roosevelt is the Denver (D) mark. Then the Philadelpia coin with no mintmark; followed by the San Francisco mintmark demanding the highest value. These coins still contain silver so keep in mind, some of these Roosevelt dimes are worth almost $2 just in silver content. There’s definitely some reasons to collect these low end dimes with 90% silver. Especially when the end of the 2021 is seeing premiums of $8 or more for Silver Eagles.
