Lincoln - definitely. Dime is so boring and doesn't have much errors or varieties as Lincoln does (talking about coins here)
How can you argue with this? Or this? Oh, don't worry, I have a couple nice Rosies too but don't have the images handy.
I'll prob be the only one to pick Roosies...just not a fan of copper coins. Its OK though...more for me!
The Academy better awards that Oscar to Day-Lewis now than later! ps: very well written movie and an amazing portrayal of Lincoln!
Eh, I think it has a nice classical look to it, a decent enough portrait of FDR with an almost Roman-style reverse. SBAs are far worse lol... no offense to Susan B. Anthony but that is not a very flattering portrait, and while the reverse is nice the designer just cheated and stole that from the Ike dollar anyway (that reverse looks great on the 1999-P proof though!). I think the ugliest single coin the US ever minted was the Korea commemorative myself. No idea what the designer was thinking lol... Er but as to the OP's question... Lincoln I suppose, there's a lot more to do here than with Roosevelt. Roosevelt dimes just don't have that huge of a variety. Heck Lincolns have 7 major varieties of reverses alone! And that's not even looking at the individual dates and minor varieties... I think you'd have a lot more fun with this one. This is the only series I collect by series, other than JFK halves. It's how I got started coin collecting in the first place. P.S. But heck, pick up a 1996-W dime just for fun anyway lol...
I started collecting Lincoln's when 1909's and the like were still circulating. Still stuck with Lincoln's.
I STARTED COLLECTING WHEN the early 80s where still in.. .. and that 50 cents could still buy you2 bags of corn chips .. and i started with lincolns..
Lincoln for the win. Way cooler coin in so many ways. Roosies pale next to Mercs. Plus, Roosevelt was a ^^^^^ [edited by myself to remove political commentary]
I like silver Roosies. Not a big copper collector, just fill the folders.... But I always enjoy looking at everyone's toned and error cents though! I think a lot of people started on wheats. Just got to go with the silver.
To be honest I thought the best acting was by Tommy Lee Jones (as Thaddeus Stephens). But Lewis was good in it too. Seemed a little melodramatic at times, and was definitely Oscar-baiting lol, but overall I thought it was really good.
