Message:: [QUOTE="tonedcoins, post: 888478, member: 25155"]I don't think it has anything to do with "functionality" or else the "cent" would have been mentioned. It costs more to make them than its actual value, but to the point. Although the Roosevelt dime has been around for some time and it has no real key dates, that's part of what makes it a great coin on its own. It is history for some time, well designed, easy to collect and in my opinion just a beautiful looking little coin (toned.) Topcat is right too on saying "It is very unfortunate if pre-64 silver coinage still gets melted down regardless of condition. It always makes me wonder what the actual surviving mintage is on some of the more "common" silver coins." So many have been melted down that they are starting to become harder to get. Besides, one of the best things about this coin is that it's a great stater coin for newbies and even I started with such coins. <img src="http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr193/tonedcoin_maniac/755a-1.jpg?t=1273755583" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
