Message:: [QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2227695, member: 60292"]No silver dimes. All are 1965-2003 circulation coins. The grades range from fine (a few of the older ones) to uncirculated. I would say most are XF/AU. Unless you stand right up to the frame (like a foot away), you really can't tell the difference in grade. They are mostly the same color so they all look the same. As I was filling the folder I would also replace some of the already filled slots with better grades, when found. For a long time the 1973-P slot was filled with a dark toned dime (nearly black). It stood out and took away attention from the other coins. I really hated it. I only kept it there to fill the hole until I found a better one. I disliked that dark toner so much that I was actually hoping to find a replacement more than one of the empty slots to just to get it out of there. Then the most incredible coincidence happened!... I found a normal-looking '73-P on the same day I found the last date needed!! (which was yesterday). I wouldn't have framed it if the dark toner wasn't replaced. The last date found was 1978-D, in case you're wondering. So the '78-D and replacement '73-P were the last two to be put into place. Now I just need to get the brown toned 1992-D replaced. But that's not as big of a deal to me.[/QUOTE]
