Message:: [QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1581364, member: 4626"]Eh, I think it has a nice classical look to it, a decent enough portrait of FDR with an almost Roman-style reverse.  SBAs are far worse lol... no offense to Susan B. Anthony but that is not a very flattering portrait, and while the reverse is nice the designer just cheated and stole that from the Ike dollar anyway (that reverse looks great on the 1999-P proof though!). I think the ugliest single coin the US ever minted was the Korea commemorative myself.  No idea what the designer was thinking lol... Er but as to the OP's question... Lincoln I suppose, there's a lot more to do here than with Roosevelt.  Roosevelt dimes just don't have that huge of a variety.  Heck Lincolns have 7 major varieties of reverses alone!  And that's not even looking at the individual dates and minor varieties... I think you'd have a lot more fun with this one.  This is the only series I collect by series, other than JFK halves.  It's how I got started coin collecting in the first place. P.S.  But heck, pick up a 1996-W dime just for fun anyway lol...[/QUOTE]
