My six year old has been getting her allowance in dimes for years to try to get a set. I seeded what I gave her with some silver dimes without telling her. Her sheer joy was so exciting I started collecting coins. A great set! My other daughter did nickels and now has moved to Sacajawea coins.
Great Video, I am from the UK and I own a full tube of 1963 Roosevelt Dimes that are all fully brilliant, the condition is stunning. I have always been a sucker for uncirculated coins. I think the series would be excellent to collect. Also of note is that President Roosevelt was a president that faced immense political challenges and I have a lot of respect for him. I have put mine with my silver stack but having a set in an album would be incredible.
@@MissouriMetal I bought them all in small batches of around 10 or so, there are 75 in my tube (a general tube). I have not seen them for a while but they are likely all the same, they are all in the vault. Nevertheless it would be fun indeed to make a collection of these coins and I cannot see the buyer going wrong.
The set of 1946-1964 is still widely available. If you don't mind going through a dealer's circulated silver Roosevelt dimes you can find most, if not all, coins to complete a basic set in EF-AU for close to the price of silver.
Ben, A few years ago you did a video on collecting FB/FT rosies and it got me hooked. Took me a little bit of time but I finally completed the entire silver run of slabbed FT rosies. I didn't do any varieties but I did add in the proofs just for fun. You know, sometimes you're a bad influence on us....
@@TheCoinGeek Please don't plant that seed. I have enough on my plate trying to do SLQ's, half cents, Bust halves, Bust half dimes and a few stragglers to finish off the franklin halves and Indian varieties. This isn't a hobby, it's a mission to see how much money I can spend. I think I may be unwilfully doing mercs now too being I have bought a few recently for no apparent reason......sigh....
Nice.I mistakenly spent a 2015P rev. Pr on smokes for my old lady.My bro got it in change somewhere.I'm ashamed bc I knew I was spending it but didn't know it was silver at the time.I missed out on a 96W too when cashier ing.Dang it!
Bravo! Just finished my gem silver Roosie set. The 51-S was a toughie but got a slabbed MS66 cheap in an auction and now I have the label pasted inside the album as a reference for my heirs. Nice dimes are plentiful but gem Jeffersons are proving to be a bit more difficult.
My Rosy album just missing a couple of 80s S and a couple in the 90s. Great pleasure on my second Rosy album. I recently completed a full Ike set. Loving it
Common coins can be fun and challenging. I started a Dansco book of Washington quarters and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, especially trying to upgrade the first page from 1932 - 1940 with AU or Unc examples. Of course, the '32 D & S are not quite that nice but more like XF. They're going in a book, after all. I ended up getting proofs from 1950 onward for the Philadelphia spots just to add some bling. When you held up the Roosevelts and they all had a consistent "look", that's what you're looking for in modern silver coinage.
I’ve been collecting for over 45 years and I started with Roosevelts!,.. I still continue to upgrade my original set, it’s never too late to start coin collecting, and the Roosevelts are definitely one of the best to start with, there’s a lot of gems out there and there a ton of fun!
I remember building my first set. I used a yellow highlighter in my red book, and highlighted all the one's I got through rolls. Every satisfying when it was finished!!!
I'm missing 13 coins in my BU Roosevelt dime set. I do have an original roll of 1946D's of which 3 are PL64-65 Cameo FT. The rest are MS62 to MS65 and are all FT. All the coins were acquired through my volunteering at a coin shop. I also put together a full set of BU Franklins, which was enhanced by a slabbed 1955 MS65 FBL gifted by Donald in New Mexico. My '55 was only MS62. The proofs start at 1956 in sets and individually, including a roll of 1961.
I have the full set in a similar folder. Most BU full luster and toning from dark deep colors through the rainbow looking like old rainbow toned morgan dollars. Paid $1.50 for each one last year. While I didn't get the fun of hunting and filling the set, I couldn't pass up the deal especially how they looked. Haven't taken the time to cherry pick though. Almost finished cherry picking about 20,000 old wheats I purchased from a family who's grandma was collecting in the 50s and 60s. Bu rolls in some dates and mints even some full rolls with rpms. Paid 2 cents each. No I didnt rob them. The collection was a big mess and I didn't know half of what was in it. They said they wanted 2 cents each and I said okay
Really love content like this. Personally I’d consider myself a medium to medium advance collector and despite that one of my current goals is to do a Jefferson nickels Dansco book Sometimes it’s just fun to do low cost stuff
I went with circulated silver Roosevelt dimes. I prefer knowing they were used by the American people at the time they were made, I think there's a lot of history in that. For a circulated set, you can get them for $2-$3 each. Much cheaper that way too
I used to collect roosevelt dimes but when it come to selling them its a hard sell not alot of ppl like them or prefer the merc dimes . Just coming from my experience I had a hard time re-selling them .
It's a boring coin but that's not a bad area to collect. It's nice that you can still find a silver one circulating here and there too. For myself I just own one regular and proof strike, one late 40's and one mid 50s, that I consider part of my collection. I do really like the two I have but I don't need more than that.
I'm not a big supporter of much of what FDR accomplished domestically, but I have a few complete collections. My Dansco album has all the proofs excepting the silver proofs. I also have the 1996-W dime included in the album. Except for the early years, most of the non-proof coins are from US Mint uncirculated sets.
Don't forget the 2015 W Dime. I got that one quite by accident. The store I go to has a box where you put $5 in and pick a coin out of the box. Not bad. I think its a $20 dime. Might be the most expensive one of the bunch.
My Rosy album just missing a couple of 80s S and a couple in the 90s. Great pleasure on my second Rosy album. I recently completed a full Ike set. Loving it

Are they end coins toned
@@MissouriMetal Why do you ask?
@@SouthSideFrankie I was just curious I love toned dimes when they usually come from an end of the roll

Nice to see another UK viewer like myself a lot of people sleeping on coin geek in UK

Another fun one is the Jefferson nickel set, I have had a great time with that

That’s awesome -
A bad influence would have you collecting 1878 Morgan VAMs

1st set I ever completed , still do more sets when I get bored . Once I get one done I start another
That was my first set I finished uncirculated from 46 to 2023 pds fun set
Wholesome
When are they going to change the Roosevelt dime? It's been 80 years since it came out.
After Harris' innouguration
@@jaymartell2967 that would be something
I used to collect roosevelt dimes but when it come to selling them its a hard sell not alot of ppl like them or prefer the merc dimes . Just coming from my experience I had a hard time re-selling them .
At a minimum they are worth $2 each for the silver but it's a nice set
Did the you tubey thing, liked and commented..😀
Whole lotta Rosie

U got it.TNT?
Myself and my 9 year old twins are almost done with bu Roosevelt dime set going to put it in capital plastic holder one that holds all the coins

Coming to Rosemont? If so, I’ll see you.
I'm not a big supporter of much of what FDR accomplished domestically, but I have a few complete collections. My Dansco album has all the proofs excepting the silver proofs.

@@bethanyhealy4989 I didn't know that the 2015-W dime existed. Thanks.

thanks Big Ben🦘🤠
Hi Ben
Hey Ben
Hey guys 👋
I have a complete set from 1946 to 2001, brilliant uncirculated. Kind of lost interest in it since then.
Also I forgot all the proofs
Good video
