I am actively trying to finish my Roosevelt registry set. I just need a couple of dimes to complete it. Then it will be time for upgrades. I also have a BU/Proof/Silver proof set in a dansco that is finished. I am going back and trying to put a BU silver and clad toned set. The silver set should be easy. The toned clads will be tougher to find. I have a circulated silver set that I am not actively trying to complete, but if I happen to find them in circulated condition, I check my album.

I don't really have an intrest in the series. Though I wouldn't mind getting the key coins though such as the 1996-W.

This series is and has been one of my favorites, I have about 6-sets of circulated coins with most coins in AU-MS condition. I love the fact this is not a difficult set to put together and if I did not collect Uncirculated Mint sets from the U S Mint, I would not of obtained the illusive 1996-W coin, which I believe was the only way to receive this coin....

I like the clad series a lot. I collect them all though some are excessively rare and I've yet to buy those. My collection does include one of the finest '82-NMM and very nice examples of the '68-P DDO and '69-D/D. Most of my nicest are even at least a little PL. I've always been a stickler for strike but never paid any particular attention to the bands until recently. I'm usually more concerned with all the lettering being fully struck-up. I collected the silvers in high grade back in the old days but this proved to be too expensive to search for high grades. Dealers didn't want to bust up original rolls when I might not even buy one of them. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I also have a really neat set of dimes from circulation.
It won't win any awards but it's a ton of fun, very educa-
tional, and it's something I can keep around the house rat-
her than a safety deposit box.

I have been passively accumulating a nicely struck BU set of the 90% silver issues. If I come across a nice FT or almost FT example, I will usually purchase but I do not actively search for them.

i collect them from circulation, I have all the clad business strikes save the 2009's and the 1996w. I've also managed to find 17 of the silver ones. I've found a few Mercury dimes along the way as well including a 1918p. -XoG |

I helped the grandkids put together a full set. Just run-of-the-mill coins from circulation. Only had to buy a couple, such as the 1996 W. Come to think of it, there's no hole for the 1996 W.
