Are Dimes Under Rated?

Did the idea of putting Raegan on the dime get axed? I remember that was being discussed for a while.

Numismatic News Article - Proposed Reagan 2013 Commem's

I vote for all business strike 2016 Dimes to be Winged Liberty Dimes,
as a '100th anniversary' circulating commemorative tribute to the
Winged Liberty (also known as Mercury) Dime.

And: 2016 Walking Liberty half, Standing Liberty (Type 1)
Quarter and Winged Liberty Dime in a special 3-piece
90% Silver Proof Set

Then all 2017 business strike Quarters made as Type 2 Standing Liberty quarters....

I think we should oust FDR in favor of John Adams, one of the most under-rated US Presidents. Adams was an architect of the US Constitution, co-author of Declaration of Independence, and had to deal with a lot of issues as 2nd president (probably as many as Obama is now).

Roosevelt's The affordable coin.
I started up collecting 8 months ago from the hobby that began 45 years ago. Buying rolls of wheats for my Whitman album, then Indian Heads, Merc,s , Peace dollars, Uncirculated rolls, Buffalo's etc. I remember going to banks for fresh rolls (always marked mine so I know if its a rerun) and silver dollars 1888 etc all VG to UNC, they had a can full (literally) all the time. Of course I was 15 years old making $1.00 and hour as a dishwasher. The only job I could get at that age.
If I had a time machine, things would be different.(20/20 hind sight). Gas or coins?
Now those coins if you have the right ones where a nice investment. My dad gave me a coin catalog dated 1934 this was in 1964, the 1909 s vdb in 1934 sold for $1.25 worth a whopping $50.00 in 1964. What a return I thought. I think the total pop of the 1909s vdb is around 458,000.

Off subject a bit so the Roosevelt in a high grade 66+ is tough and bargain coin. Finding unsearched rolls can be very difficult the 1949 Roosevelt roll in gem bu is around $1600-1800. Please correct me if I am wrong I get this from an old Grey Sheet or $30 to $40 per coin ungraded. Many key dates are $125 plus a roll.

So how many rolls to get a submission to PSGS or (other grading company) My guess; and only my limited guess for grading 50 rolls for submission are around 1 coin in hundred coins makes a 66fbs+ or ms67+.
The same with proofs 1 in 20 (5%)to (1%) makes a 70dcam from a 69dcam submission (I yield to PSGS population report). Maybe 1 in 50 from a proof set makes a 69dcam plus. so the numbers are staggering how few high grade Roosevelt's are possible. The toal number of proof sets in 1977 to present is between 889,000 to 3,500,000 per year and metal.
One look at the proofs population and do the math you will be floored at the total population possible. And how many proof and unsearched dime rolls collectors have in proof collections or roll collections
When the Hunt brothers cornered the silver market, silver hit $40 to $50 an oz or $3.25 a coin, $160 a roll. Do you think silver Roosevelt's had a melt down in population?

Yes Mr Wisker, Roosevelt's are the coin to watch.

I too think the Roosevelt dime is a sleeper, I also would agree that for some time this coin is a change waiting to happen, maybe swap the obverse with the well received, and loved, Walk softly but carry a big stick, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt.

Now that would be a great 'Roosevelt' Dime:

Teddy Roosevelt!

I think it depends on how and what you collect. If you are going for high graded slabs, then some of these can be expensive but if you are going for a common coin found in circulation, then yes, they are a little overlooked. I started my set about a year ago and have not put a lot of time or thought into it and have tried to get everything I can from circulation or bank rolls. I figured that I have put only about 15-20 hours into it have found almost everything that is not a proof coin in circulation. Now, my coins are not high grade, but I have found it a lot easier to collect over anything else (especially my cents).

I think that the reason I have not put a lot of effort into these is because I can pick them up so cheap and think that they will always be that way. Now that I said that, they will most likely change the design and people will be selling them for 20x face value like the cents. I still find it fun to search through rolls of dimes and just this week found a 1962 in EF+ condition. Now it is not worth a lot, but still a great find for me.
