Has anyone here attempted to make a roll of the 1996 W Roosevelt dime? Don't recall seeing any on ebay. Would be a worthy challenge I think... |

I used to have one of these, not a roll, one single coin for my type collection, but I replaced it with a 82 no P dime. The recent introduction of the March of Dime Commemorative and Reverse Proof may rekindle the interest in the 96-W though.

There is a roll (50 coins still in the cellos) available on ebay right now. All you need is money, a pair of scissors and a plastic coin tube! (However, if I had them, I'd want them left in the original cello mint packaging!) |

Yep....for $700 you can own 50 of them. I'd rather spend that much on a new addition to my type coin album personally but go for it if that is what you like! It might work out to be a good purchase in years to come.

I wasn't really thinking about it but it was one of those random thoughts I have. It very well could be a worthwhile project but I to would rather work on my collections.

I agree that there is a lot more short term fun to be had with $700 than roll of '96W dimes. Long term, you might be laughing at collectors like me, however.

I have one in my 7070, and one for my rosie set, don't know why anyone other than a dealer would want more than one or two.

Things get side tracked from week to week. I think I have between 10 and 20 1996 W dimes. Some from broken sets, some still in sets. But I do wonder what I would do with a roll, if I ever make it to 50. Also working on putting rolls of Satin State Quarters. everyone needs a hobby .... Maybe Grandkids will like selling them ... 50 years from now. A month ago I seen a BU roll of 1893 Morgan's go through a LCS ... everyone was very impressed with that roll. |

I only need 45 more to go to make a roll.

 Hmmm I would like to know if all is what it is supposed to be. I would break open the roll and check then put them in a tube. |

Don't put them in a roll, each should be in its own airtight. I have probably 15 or so at the moment. If I see em for 10$ or less I pick em up.

It would be an interesting roll to have, but I would never pursue it myself.  |

Every original 1996 mint set contains a W mint dime but fewer than 3% of them have a Denver cent with small lettering on the reverse. These cents are usually highly PL and can nearly be identified by this feature alone.
The '96 mint set has other interesting coins as well including significant numbers of other PL coins including half dollars.
It's a very underrated set and the dime is very underrated as well.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I think it would actually be cheaper to buy the complete sets than to just focus on the dime. I just bought 10 complete '96 sets for $120.00 shipped. It doesn't make sense to me to just buy the dime at $12-$15 when I can get the entire set for the same price or less than just the dime.

Good point ....
I don't think anyone has mentioned if they are buying just the dime,
or the complete mint set.
Most all the ones I have bought were in the mint set. Most of those I took out out the set, and dumped the rest.
I do have one in my Roosevelt Dansco, one in my 7070. Then I have
Some in 2X2's, some in air-titles and some in roll.
(When I say roll, most times I am meaning tube)
I would not have any problem with buying just the dime, but I agree
in most cases buying the set is cheaper.
