In the mid-'60's the hobby went crazy for brand new coin under the belief that the burgeoning number of collectors would need these someday. Prices of brand new rolls went up sharply and rolls from only a few years previous were considered "old". To put it another way; collectors considered five year old coins from the '50's to be old but now two generations later a 1965 roll is thought of as new. </p><p><br /></p><p>All regular issue Roosy dimes were made in the tens of millions. All the old silver ones were saved in the millions. All regular issue Roosys can be found in choice condition without a lot of effort. Many dates are tough in gem and this is especially true among the clads. Most all dates are at least a little tougher in choice gem and many are quite rare in superb gem. There are lots of great varieties and these can be tough in any condition. There are also some special issues which are exciting and one is extremely pricey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
