I am perfectly happy collecting P, D and S business strike mint marks.

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 09/02/2025 6:11 pm In the 2015 "March of Dimes Special Silver Set" one finds two noteworthy Roosevelt dimes: Reported mintage is 74,430 for these proof dimes: The MOD set in OGP lists in the RB for $70. PF69 examples of those dimes are around $50 each. I'm tempted to get them graded. " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. " Report this Post to the Staff
coinnewcomer1 Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 09/02/2025 9:19 pm In the large scheme of things I do not think Roosevelt dimes are underrated but, rather, overlooked for meagre reasons. Roosevelt dimes are great way to start off a coin collection or an area to pursue if your money is tight. There are only a small handful of Roosevelt dimes that are inaccessible to most (the 1975 no S proof I believe is the most famous). I do think Roosevelt dime design has overstayed its welcome (but that is true of the cent which looks to be discontinued) and is due for a design overhaul. Such an action would then give Roosevelt dimes of today back to their inception a boost in popularity since "absence makes the heart grow fonder". Report this Post to the Staff

Roosies have one big thing up on all other coins: they can be assembled in Gem condition on a shoestring. Most all the coins including the silvers are common in MS-65. Nice well struck specimens in Gem make a spectacular set. There are only a few coins that are difficult and these can always be collected in MS-64. Memorial pennies are the second most common in Gem but has more challenges. Other modern denominations can be very challenging in well made Gem. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

beerandchips New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 09/03/2025 09:48 am Great topic! I have been trying to complete a set of them. The copper/nickel coins can be found cheaply in mint sets. The silver coins are a little harder to find in uncirculated condition. Each dealer at coin shows may have a few. When I ask about them, it seems they threw them into their travelling display as an afterthought. "I think I have a few with me", is a standard reply. The good thing about that is that they usually have not updated the price on the coin for a while. Report this Post to the Staff

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 528 Posts	Posted 09/04/2025 08:21 am 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.

Raised on rock Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 09/04/2025 1:49 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

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. 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.

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 528 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 05:22 am 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'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. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
