The 1970-D Roosevelt Dime is a very common issue that can still be found in circulation. Examples in low Uncirculated grades can probably also still be found in circulation with proper searching. Only in MS66 condition and higher does it become somewhat challenging to locate. However, there are still probably thousands of examples that survive in MS66 condition. In MS67 it is difficult to find with possibly hundreds in existence. In MS68 it almost unheard of with less than dozen known. With Full Bands it is very scarce in any condition and any examples displaying Full Bands is a diamond in the rough.
