both look to be fine examples of coins that survived the onslaught of circulation...for their age, good design survival. I’m not collecting these for myself anymore, but I do still save them for my granddaughter, who just recently discovered she likes collecting coins. And I didn’t even have to twist her arm! I teach her new stuff every time I visit, without overwhelming her...she’s 9 yo. ...Spark
first off I have a crappy camera mountain man. second your the only hater on here, didn't your mom teach you if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all. also 1980's dime are my favorite to find because how hard it is to find a good torch with bands. thanks you to everyone else's comments. happy hunting to everyone.
Ksb, I agree with mountain man. Maybe you can see lines in the torch, but even when enlarging , I do not see full bands of separation of the flames. Sorry about the camera, but we have to go on with what we are given. Some one answered and it would be well if you also reacted to what mom taught. Reality rules. Jim
If you like them, you can put them in a 2x2 coin flip. Not including proof coins, there's no modern clad dime worth keeping except the 1982 no P. I'm just speaking for myself. These dimes have been over produced and you have to go back to silver dimes to even bother with them. I did save a modern dime which was off center so that was cool. I thought it was just MAD, and then I flipped it over and the reverse was off as well. And people like the 2009 dimes because of a relatively lower mintage.
I looked through 4400+ metal detector dime finds, and couldn't find one. OK most of the coins out here are D mintmarked, but there were some and they all had the P.
