Yeah defiantly! I have a few older Roosevelt dimes but its harder to come buy them in circulation (considering I only get them in change because I only roll search for cents)
I need to find a local coin shop, I had one but the guy is never there at the times his office hours are so I go there and no ones even working! so I can't buy anything so I'm just gonna go to the bank and buy some rolls to keep me occupied lol, I need a new set to start working on too, I have a couple walking liberty dollars, maybe I could start there.

Did you get all your nickels from circulation or did you buy some/all of them? I have wondered how long it would take to get them from circulation or if it is even reasonably possible.

I got higher quality War Nickels, so I bought most of those. Those were by far the most expensive going from $4 - $8. Most of them came from circulation, bought some I didn't find or wanted to upgrade. If I couldn't get some lines on the steps, I wanted at least the front porch of Monticello to have some detail. Even the ones I couldn't find in circulation were very affordable, but sorting those rolls was fun. I miss it, which is the main reason for considering dimes next.

I say...get a dansco and put Grandads collection in it and mark it as such
Then get another Dansco for upgrades and build the set again.

I've picked up Danscos cheap from dealers.
Whatever book I can pick up , I get, Just to have something to put that piece that I got at a great price.

lorax, not just possible, but I've done it more than 2 dozen times. (This is going through hundreds of boxes) As a matter of fact, I have another set I'm putting together, using the sides of 100. boxes as mounts. Just something different, to hang in the bat-cave.

Nice collections. Finding some these are to find in circulation. I just got started a few months ago. For some weird reason ii put all my end of day pocket change in a container everyday for years, like over ten years. A lot of the change came the vending machine at work. Many of the coins are barely circulated. Sso, I'm off to a decent start. I only wish I knew someone close to share and trade with.

I tried to get my nephew into it but, it isn't his thing right now.

Have a great time with the dimes!

Or someone on the other side of the Mississippi to trade with so you'll get more of the other mintmark.

So now, what do I do next? I'm thinking about a Roosevelt dime Dansco
Not a bad idea.

Of course, I always recommend the Eisenhower dollars.

You might also want to consider the Franklin half dollar.

MY suggestion is to keep anything you received from him in an Album in that Album for a remebrance of him. Anything in any Folder should be taken out and put in Albums. Folders are just not good for coins. Most are not ment for long term and/or serious collectors.
Some of the problems with Folders are the exposures to anything and everything since nothing protects the front of the coins. Now the worst part. The process in making a Folder is to slap glue on sheets of paper, place slotted cardboard pages on them, allow to dry, cut to shape. HOWEEVER, this means that the shinny stuff you see in the back of the slots is left over glue and that touching coins is just not good. Many kids like that though since a well worn coin may fall out so they spit on that glue and now the coins stay in place. People have a problem pushing coins into those slots since they are tapered. So many push with their fingers or thumbs as hard as possible to get the coins in place. I've known kids that use a rubber hammer for that.
Again, take all those coins out of the Folders and either place in Albums or 2x2's or even a plastic roll for now until you do get Albums. And it really doean't matter what brand of Album you end up with although this forum is a heavily populated with DANSCO PEOPLE.
Me, I'm a Whitman person for Albums.

I will say, nothing wrong with Whitman albums. My choice was made for me when I was 15, so I stuck with it.

Roosevelt dimes are pretty easy. I think a lot of dealers are just throwing almost all circulated Roosevelt silvers into the "junk" pile. I saw a dealer yesterday day put 3 rolls of BU Franklins in with all the circulated stuff. The guy selling to the dealer was shocked, but the dealer said he's basically charging the same for it at today's silver prices. Moral of the story - you could do circulated Roosevelts by picking through junk silver piles at dealers.
