[QUOTE="cholmes75, post: 7873, member: 945"]Hello - I have recently started collecting coins, and I decided to start out by just organizing my loose change. I have two '68 D dimes and I was wondering which one to keep. Dime A has more visible wear on the obverse - specifically, the first few letters in LIBERTY are worn down a bit, as are the parts of "In God We Trust" that are close to the edge. Dime B, however, is more clearly worn on the reverse. The torch lines are pretty much gone. Dime A still has some visible. All other things being equal, which one should I choose to put away? Is wear less desirable on one side of a coin than on another? Thanks![/QUOTE]
