Finally got my dimes to complete my March of Dimes "set".

New-Coins,-With-A-Story...

This set struck a chord with me because our son was born March 24, 2015... 2 months early. I was just getting back into collecting coins then, and didn't know this set existed. Of course when I found out about it I knew I had to have at least the dollar. I initially bought the dollar, and decided to get the OGP also with the intention to get the dimes at a later time. Well, usps dropped off a package today containing those two special dimes!

As a side note, I wasn't thrilled with the pictures I had seen of reverse proofs in general, but I really like the reverse proof dime "in hand".

Excellent!

I bought this set from the mint when it was released. I really like it and I think the dimes are great.

The dimes are great, and with the 75k mintage are almost certainly key dates to the series.

Pleased that you are enjoying the set ... appears to be a fine family addition for your child's birth.

Yeah, it's a great reminder of how blessed we are as a family. I'm sure our son has benefitted from the research that the March of Dimes has helped fund!

I'm not a fan of Roosevelt dimes, but I have to say that I like this set. In general, I don't think reverse proofs look as good as regular proofs, but I actually like this one better. Perhaps the smaller size helps.

I agree, I think the smaller size is a reason why the reverse proof dime looks really good compared to the others.
