Looks like an awesome set. Beerandchips, yes. Most Roosevelt dimes, even BU, are pretty cheap. Found these today in the cash drawer at work. Yippie!  I do quite like this series. It looks a lot nicer than I anticipated. Sometimes, coins look different as a whole when you get them all together and you can appreciate them a bit more.

A set where the P & D were easy to collect from circulation until 2022 here in central Minnesota. No 22s, no24s and no 2025s yet. Going on a vacation to KC, will hit some gas stations and maybe get lucky.

Going on a vacation to KC, will hit some gas stations and maybe get lucky. Pretty odd. Evidently, around here where I live in Southeast Michigan, 2025 dimes are pretty easy to come by. There was at least three 2025 Philly minted coins in our drawer yesterday at work and I do have the Denver mint mark. Quote: ok... invitation is revoked! i really don't care what you "collect"...

Not to trying to be rude at all, but to be honest, I'm just not all that interested personally. We are talking about almost a 40 minute drive out of my way when I can easily find coins around here or shipped from ebay. And I don't really feel comfortable with meeting someone from the net, especially someone who keeps coming off so persistent about it. Makes me feel iffy. No thanks. That said, I wish you well and hope you find someone to meetup with to enjoy or purchase your coins. But it's not for me.

Hijack away! That looks fantastic. The one thing I don't like about Roosevelt dimes however is coin roll hunting them isn't particularly fun honestly. I feel it's kind of a hassle and they are hard to see and distinguish in terms of dates.

Many of the coins exceed mine and I've gone through 100's of rolls since 1999.

Nickels are way more fun to coin roll hunt, plus there is simply more stuff to find.

I keep current with uncirculated mint sets.

My favorite coins to coin roll hunt are cents and nickels personally. Ironically, despite being a similar size, I don't have a problem with. Filling out a good portion of my Dansco album via coin roll hunting for Lincoln cents has been a joy. That said, I don't really know if I want to go this route with Roosevelt dimes.

Thanks guys! Dimes are definitely a pain to read but I've noticed that they seem to hold up better than other coins

And worse it seems the VF's and XF's are even more likely to be scratched and ugly than the VG's. I got reading glasses many years ago so their being hard to see is irrelevant. I just have to keep getting more powerful lenses as time goes by. I used to be able to easily see the' '68 overdate. Now I wear lens and use a glass.
