Hi Tpatna I was wondering about the low population of the ms66fb+ silver 1946 - 1964 and if they would be a good dime to collect in pgcs or ngc grade? stephen

If you mean "good" as in enjoyable, I would collect that series if you have an interest in it and would enjoy it.
If you mean "good" as in a good investment, it's a tougher call. No one knows if a particular series will gain interest and value.

I don't know much about this series, but according to " Coin World" online values....the 1949, 1949S, and 1950S in MS66 are the key dates I think the Roosevelt dimes are a very good collection for anyone to start because you can complete the whole series without to much damage to the wallet |

Thanks Tpatna I think you hit on the noise. There is no date that is so rare or expensive that you could not buy Roosevelt's at face silver. At $14 an Oz a 90% silver dime is $1 a coin and collect the whole series 1946-1964, probably at extra fine grade. Upgrade as one wishes to the MS or MSFB dates with out breaking the bank

I am a Roosevelt dime collector for those very reasons. Its an affordable series and the key coins are available in most grades. Plus the Roosevelt dime, is presently the longest running series without any changes to either the obverse or reverse. The longest running modern series without any changes used to be the Jefferson Dime at 66 years. The Roosevelt dime is 62 years old, and I don't see any changes in the near future. |

I have heard that that there might be a change in the near future. Was there not a law that coins need to changed every 25 years. the change from silver to clad was one, the repositioning of the mint mark another.

I've put together the Dansco Roosevelts. But I think the question was about buying graded slabs. I have thought about doing this for some modern coins, for their key (or rather semi-key) dates. I think this is the next step in my evolution as a collector. Instead of filling books, buying the best dates, or those under the radar dates for moderns. I don't have the dough to get too much into the older coins.
But, I am still putting tgether a few books... and I was similarly interested in this question. It certainly wouldn't be too expensive to buy those few Roosevelt dates as graded coins.

With Roosevelt dimes, you are really dealing with the 1946-1964 Silver issues and the subsequent Proof and Silver issues, with the 1949-S being the only key date. Although since the 1996-W is only available from a mint set it could be somewhat key. I have the same Dansco and am not too worried about the clads (1965-present), as long as it's a nice AU/BU anything will do. I agree with novillero, I'm filling Danscos and then will get a slabbed version of the key dates. In this case it will be the 1949-S & 1996-W. |

Nice I think Jewellge approach is grounded improve your Danscos as you find upgraded coins and move to the less expensive slabs as you can afford them
