Hi I think this coin is a 1969 dime but I cant really tell for sure. thanks

I have tried enlarging and reducing the picture of the obverse, but it is just too blurry to give a definite answer. In hand, does the loop of the missing numeral appear to be the same size as the loop of the first nine? On the '68 and '69 Roosevelts, the loop of a nine is an upright oval, while the top loop of an eight is a smaller, horizontal oval. The only other option would be a zero, but it doesn't appear to be that large of an oval.

Hope that helps a little.

If I had to guess I'd guess at an 8, but the image's blurriness is an issue as Bob said. My reason for guessing an 8 would be based essentially on the same minutiae he observed.

Is it copper rimmed?

If it is then it is post-1964

Looks like 1969....

Yes it is a copper rim

Then it's after 1964

The third digit is obviously a 6, and there is a mintmark above the date. So it has to be 68 or later, and it can't be 70 or later, so it has to be either a 68 or 69. The curvature of the top of the fourth digit does not match the first 9 in the date, so I'd say it's a 68.

probably 1969
