[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1561853, member: 9270"]I'll repeat an opinion I've expressed in the past (buried somwhere deep in the old threads here). Roosevelt dimes (and in my case I limit that to the silver ones) are a sleeping beast. Not a monster, at least not in what's left of my lifetime. But I think they are undervalued. Essentially the design hasn't changed since 1946 when the design was first issued. To the best of my knowledge there hasn't even been any mention of changing the design. I believe numismatic heads will be raised and look in that direction if a change is ever strongly suggested. To that end a few years ago I completed a slabbed collection of silver dimes. It's a matched set with respect to grade. All my business strikes are MS-66. All my proofs are PF-67. If I were to make any changes at this point I'd keep the same grades but move up to ones with the FT attribution [U]on the slab[/U]. That attribution is largely ignored. But considering my age things better happen relatively soon or I'll not receive the benefits of my insight (if I'm correct).[/QUOTE]
