TheNumismatic Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 08:58 am - What are the key dates for Silver Roosevelts? - Any examples that have added mintmarks? (I think my collection has added mink marks, as its darker around the mint mark though rest of the coin is shiny. It could be that someone, (with Whitman folder) placed two of them torch to face. As in two in one stop.) If I am I able to I will try to post pictures. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

tgauchsin Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 09:25 am I'll let others chime in, but from looking at the mintage numbers 1955 has the lowest numbers. S - 18,510,000 D - 13,959,000 (P) - 12,450,181 Report this Post to the Staff
DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 09:58 am I believe 1949s is considered the key date, but look for any early Roosevelts from the San Francisco mint with full torch lines. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36415 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 10:55 am I agree with the others, 49-S, 55-PDS in circulated grades. I don't think there is much premium on these over bullion right now unless Uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 11:02 am I don't think anyone would bother adding mintmarks. Roosevelts have to be in top grades to be valuable. Adding a mintmark to a high-grade Philly coin would just ruin it's value. Report this Post to the Staff
TheNumismatic Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 12/17/2012 4:23 pm So I shouldn't worry then? Or should I post pictures? Report this Post to the Staff
The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 12/17/2012 5:54 pm If you are talking about MS grades, then its 49, 49S and 50S. Report this Post to the Staff
Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 12/18/2012 09:11 am No real key date in this series. You could call some semi-key but even then not tough to find. This is both good and bad... bad in that a circulated set is nothing special... good in that collectors wanted to put together a gem uncirculated will work at it but have fun doing so.

jnew2117 Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 2:51 pm This is a great series to work on. The dimes can be had in great condition for a little over spot. The only real "keys" that I found were the 49, 49-S, and 50-S. If you go beyond silver, the 65, 66, 67, and 82 adn 83 coins are all more difficult to find in MS, just due to no uncirculated mint sets being produced those years. Report this Post to the Staff
