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.

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.

Sorry. 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.

I collect all modern circulation coins from circulation. Not trying to highjack your thread but here's my Roosevelt dime album.

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.

I wasn't going to say it but that set looks fantastic! I'm guessing it's in its second album and was begun more than a decade ago.

It would be much more difficult to duplicate it today.

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

I had this experience as well. Dimes are so small to handle and examine. Nickels are way more fun to coin roll hunt, plus there is simply more stuff to find.

I have to agree. I am glad my core set was completed long before my eyes got too old to search them. 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

If you mean the clads there certainly are more older coins in high grade but so many are missing now haven fallen down cracks for 60 years. 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.
