<p>[QUOTE="Omegaraptor, post: 2867013, member: 76105"]I was at the coin shop today and bought 5 silver dimes for melt. Now I will share a secret with you: I actually love silver Roosevelt dimes. Why? Because most people just don't care about them. There are so many high grade gems out there, they're just hidden away in junk silver buckets and tins. So here's the 5 I bought today (sorry for the suboptimal pictures):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]684173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684174[/ATTACH]</p><p>First coin, a 46-S in AU (weakly struck). I saw luster and realized it was an early Rosie and had to take this one home.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]684175[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684176[/ATTACH]</p><p>Second coin, a 49-S.
