<p>[QUOTE="faceglider, post: 1260725, member: 32190"]I was at a coin show this weekend. One of the sellers suggested that I should start collecting high grade silver Roosevelts. His reasoning was that once Nancy Reagan passes away, there would be a likelihood that Ronald Reagan would be put on the dime, thus replacing FDR. Since it is the only U.S. circulation coin to be unchanged in so many years (although the Kennedy half hasn't really) in design, in his reasoning, this would create more demand for high grade Roosevelts. Now, I find many problems with this. One, I read about the idea of putting Reagan on the dime, about six or seven years ago, and I'm not so sure that people would back (and Nancy didn't back it either) legislation that removed Franklin Roosevelt on the dime. And, even if that happened, how would that create a demand for Roosevelts? I don't know. That is why I am posting it on Coin talk. I'd love to hear any opinions on this matter. I know that Roosevelts are overlooked. Personally, I've started collecting high grade Silver Washington quarters because I think they are overlooked. And, I like them for some reason. </p><p>P.S.
