Not including 2008s .I found my last one today a 72D and the one before that a 70P found on Saturday .I started the collection 9 Months ago with a Whitman 9414 book 1946-1961 all AU grade for $43. Since that purchase I had been doing roll searching about 25 rolls a week .Cant believe how long it took to find those 2 coins and a 2007D .Note from all the roll searching I did not find any silver.

Congrats on the set! In my experience I have never found a silver dime form circulation either. I stopped looking long ago. Now that I look back on it, that was probably why I didn't bother with a Roosevelt collection. I could find everything after 64 easy but nothing before. That, and they are so darn small and difficult to grade IMO.

Congratulations!  I am still looking for a 2003D to finish my Roosevelt set...  But I do not roll search anymore and I use a lot of plastic, so that really hurts!

Did you find a 1996-W Dime? Interesting coin. The cellophane they put it in is hard to shoot through to get a good image and I refuse to cut it open just for a shot. Best to leave it sealed.

1996 was the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt dime so the Mint did something special- a 1996 dime minted with a West Point mint mark was included in the 1996 Mint Set. The coin by itself is about $20-25 but you can usually get the whole mint set for about that price as well. With only 1.457 million minted, it is by far the key date for Roosies.

I finished my Roosevelt dime collection not too long ago. My Dansco Album didn't have a space for the 1996 W Dime. I did buy a couple of them bought the sets) and put them in air-tites.

I love your comment on having problems finding the 2007D.
Gosh, if you lived next to me, just back your truck up to my door and you'll get 'em all. Me, on the other hand, have only a couple 2007P's.
This 'D' and 'P' thing irritates me. On the one hand, it is kind of cool because you go "Yippee" when you find a 'P' (or a 'D'). But it is a hassle.
I've been putting aside pennies 1983 to date when they are choice. I have at least 10 in most of the dates, but only ONE for 2007P. I have about forty million 2007D pennies though.
Oh well, if we could get everything we wanted, we probably wouldn't want it.

How weird is this.....I got a 1964 Rosie in circulation tonight. I've also found a Rose-colored Rosie. It's a 1979d and it's got a pinkish hue to it. I'm not sure what caused it but it's cool
