Rip48 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 01/24/2009 07:44 am Been reading various posts and members are finding roosie or rosie dimes. What are they? Been roll hunting dimes, no silver, of course, but any advice on keepers? Thanks, Rip 48 Report this Post to the Staff

BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 01/24/2009 09:09 am I would keep all Roosevelt dimes from the seventies as they are getting harder to find. Also look for the 1982 no mint mark (P) dime, it is my opinion that the Roosevelt dime series is over looked and will soon be a great series to collect. Report this Post to the Staff
Erwindoc Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/24/2009 11:01 am I would search for ones with fully split bands on the torch. Very, very hard to find and unrecognized by many collectors. I think it will be one of the toughest sets to complete. Report this Post to the Staff
Rip48 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 01/24/2009 11:53 am Thanks all, for your posts. still searching. Did find a 2000S in great shape. I have found only one 1971P, any particular reason this is scarce in my searching so far? Did find a bunch of 82's. all have P's on them. ERWINdoc? Fully split bands on the torch? Thanks, Rip48 Report this Post to the Staff
Erwindoc Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/24/2009 12:01 pm Yea, look at the torch. There are two bands that go across, one at the top and one at the bottom. NGC and PCGS designate them just a little differently. PCGS requires coins that have the full band designation to have both sets of bands to be fully split. NGC requires the same but also the torch slats to be fully struck with no marks within a small distance from the bands. Both will disqualify coins that have marks on the bands if they are distracting or marks that cross the bands. Usually, the top bands are split, but the lower bands are usually weak on the clad issue coins(1965-present). Look closely at the 2000S coin you found(it is a proof and not intended for circulation). It should have both upper and lower bands well struck so you can have something for comparison for the regular circulation coins. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/25/2009 11:04 am Pulling dimes out of change...yank anything pre-1990 that's uncirculated. They are becoming scarce. The Full Torch thing really only applies to those from before the design modification of 1996. From that year on, full torch dimes are very common. Report this Post to the Staff
