How much is a complete dime set 1946-1964 worth?

I see circulated sets anywhere from $99 to $150. Looks like this was a good find -- melt value today is $85.14.

I would if I had any idea where they were. Most of my coins are stored in boxes in my Sister's basement. I would have no idea where to start looking.

Around 2006, I bought a brand new "Coin Watch" off eBay and I've been looking for it ever since. A bit "off topic" but interesting...Coin Watch is a company that takes proof coins from around the world and makes watches out of them.

In the 1990's Mint Director Philip Diehl struck a deal with Coin Watch to provide US Gold Eagles ($25) to Coin Watch and the watches were released in packaging bearing the insignia of the U.S. Mint. I think Coin Watch is still in business.

When Jay Johnson took over as Mint Director in 2000, he proclaimed that "...the U.S. Mint isn't in the jewelery business" and production halted.

I have one of the watches with a 1998 proof Eagle...but dang if I can find it. The coin isn't worth more than its bullion value, but it represents an interesting period in the history of the U.S. Mint.

This one looks like the one I have...as I recall. Judging by the date on this one, they must still be making them...just without the U.S. Mint packaging.

 

The Elusive CoinTalk Roosevelt Set

Very Interesting!! I consistently place a snipe bid 40%+ above your stated melt value to try and acquire some of those inexpensive sets that seem to primarily be viewed by those posting on this site. Sets that "Greysheet" Dealer wholesale values are shown as $140 "Bid" and $155 "Ask". I must be using the wrong service, as I'm not winning. I've purchased from many listing in the "For Sale" section, but have yet to see any of these inexpensive sets offered.

Come on Guys!! I believe 40% should be a reasonable profit for an item that appears commonplace for CoinTalk participants. Just accumulate some and send me a P.M. for an easy profit. LOL :thumb:

 

1946-1964D ROOSEVELT SILVER DIMES - FULL SET


$ 168 on ebay today

 

OMG!! Louise Brooks...what a beauty!!! (sorry...OT again)

 

It's true that when I wrote that I realized I was looking at a "best match" search and and most of the low end of the scale had several hours if not days to go. I was looking again (I find myself interested now too) and you may be right. $150 or more might be the going rate... but I would look for xf or better quality

 

ust found this one -- $104.50; 1 hour 7 min to go

Just A Circulated Roll Of Dimes!!

You can keep looking, as that auction is just for a circulated roll of Roosevelt dimes, which is very unlikely to have one of the 10 premium keys/semi-keys that are required to complete a Roosevelt Dime Set.

That roll of dimes is one that the coinflation fanticisers would like to believe has a value of ~$88, but with some time remaining, it already has bids in excess of the "Greysheet" $114 "bid" value, and is advancing towards the Greysheet "ask" value, as one of reasonable logic/knowledge would expect.

I took a decade old "Greysheet" from my library to examine the relative value of the Roosevelt set 10 years ago to todays value. It is as one of objective intelligence would expect, having increased in value relative to "bullion" Silver.

Just my humble observations based on facts rather than conjecture/fantasy. :thumb:

 

Thanks! I thought it might be worth more than I paid for it. I am thinking it's worth $3.50 a dime or around $168, just like that one on E-bay.
