1964 mintage by mint

• 1964: These are counts of coins dated 1964, not of coins struck in 1964. Public Law 88-580 of 3 September 1964 let the Mint keep dating coins 1964 until supplies were adequate, and Table LII of the Bureau of the Mint compilation records that 1964-dated coins were produced from January 1964 to April 1966. Philadelphia struck 242,720,762 dimes in calendar 1964 and 690,590,000 in calendar 1965, which is the 933,310,762 total that Table LII gives for 1964-dated Philadelphia dimes, proofs included.
• 1964-D: A count of coins dated 1964 rather than struck in it. Denver struck 572,154,430 dimes in calendar 1964, 617,457,120 in 1965 and 167,905,630 in 1966, which is exactly the 1,357,517,180 that Table LII of the Bureau of the Mint compilation gives for 1964-dated Denver dimes. This is the highest mintage of any dime in the series.

• 1964-D (Denver): 48th lowest of 48

Key dates: Sources disagree about whether this series has key dates at all, so the full picture is worth stating rather than a single answer. CoinWeek's series overview says the silver Roosevelt dime "has no standout key", and Gainesville Coins writes that no regular-issue business-strike Roosevelt dime is rare in the absolute sense. Against that, CoinWeek's own guide to the 1949-S calls it one of the key dates of the series, coincollecting.com names the 1949-S, 1955, 1955-D and 1955-S, and the American Numismatic Association names the 1949, 1949-D, 1949-S and 1950-S. The three lists overlap on the 1949-S alone, which is the only issue flagged as a key date here; every other issue any of them names carries a note saying who names it.
