I am definitely eyeballing that set. I might be getting a few special sets this year.

It might be a decent time to pick up BU 2009-D rolls as well. I don't think this will ever be a "key date" but maybe a "semi-key"? Production is less than 50,000,000 (lowest since the 60's from what I could tell) and coins aren't all that popular in circulation anymore. You can get rolls for around $12 shipped right now if you keep an eye on ebay. I picked up a few @ 11.39 a piece shipped, worst case I figured I'm losing a little less than $7 per roll given they have $5 face value. Right now I'm also trying to pick up BU rolls of 46-52 however I am finding those are pretty expensive so needless to say I haven't purchased any yet. |

I figured I'd just bump my old topic rather than make a new one. I'm getting the feeling people don't like Roosevelt's as much as I do.
I read an article the other day where someone was speculating that 1969-P may become the key date for clad dimes. With a mintage of 145,790,000 and not that many hoarded they speculated these might be valuable eventually (especially with full bands).
Anyway - I also wanted to remind everyone the 2015-W march of the dime set comes out soon. Pretty excited to add that to my collection!

I have to admit....I cheated. Sent payment for a complete Roosevelt set, in white Lucite holder, with ending date of 1969. All are UNC. A collector put this set together...it is nice. Will post pictures when it arrives.

I am curious to see what this new set does for the dimes.
Anyone that collects the mint sets for other denominations
has dimes just because they are there. Now we get to see if
these people with sets of dimes just because they happened into
them, will actually step out into the market and spend money
to grow those "just because" sets... or if they will just sit
on what they got/get annually, and not take extra steps. That
will say a lot about the series and people that "collect" the dimes.

Those are in the same category as Jefferson nickels. People just really are getting tired of dead people on the coins. Or at least change more often. Contrary to that I've met people that collect only Lincoln Cents and Roosevelt dimes. One person I know only collects Roosevelt dimes. And that is the hobby of coin collecting. |

GR58 that really, really looks fantastic. Of course being a Whitman fan I think they would look much better in a Blue background. That is amazing how those look. Couldn't be better looking. Just great.

Well, now I'm pumped to check out my rosevelt album(s). I know one is full or almost with a few rainbows :) Thanks for the bump SA!

I got a pretty good deal the other day. I know normally circulated roosevelts aren't worth much but for $134 total I was able to get a full circulated roll of 49-S and a full circulated roll of 50-S. You really don't see those up for sale too often and at $67 a roll (slightly over melt) I thought I did pretty good for a key date and semi-key date roll!

I think most of the clads are tougher than the silver issues in Unc. The '69-P is especially tough because not only were so few saved but most examples look like junk. Nice attractive coins are not often seen. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I've assembled almost the entire (except for five) 1946-64 silver set, strictly through roll hunting the last couple years, and several more partial sets. I know of other crh'ers that have completed the series via roll hunting.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I try to buy every unc/bu set of Roosevelt, Jefferson, and Ikes that come into my local dealers. I think buying them completed is much more cost effective.
Not to mention, many of these sets were assembled by collectors who cherry-picked and built really nice sets which their kids or spouses then sell without appreciating the work that went into the set.
They don't come in very often. Especially the Ikes.

I was able to pick up some additional rolls of 49-S, 50-S, and 51-S for right around melt. I understand they are circulated, not BU , but I will welcome them to my collection for melt prices!

As always, outstanding album and pictures, G58. Gives us all something to shoot for!
I have my Roosies in a Whitman Classic and I haven't worked particularly hard on the pre-65 issues. Most of those dates I've just filled in from my junk pile. It's generally (I've found) very easy to find good examples of everything '65+ from circulation (except of course the West Point coin).
