<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 164660, member: 2544&quot;]I have been looking for a new coin to build a couple of sets with and I got to thinking about the dime.&nbsp; I have 2 complete sets of rosies and was thinking about adding a third.&nbsp; I realized that nobody really talks about the dime very often and there seems to be very little interest in it.&nbsp; Dimes are so cheap, that you can literally build sets with your extra lunch money.&nbsp; The highest priced coin in the series that I could find was a 1951 proof that sold for around $65.00.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Roosevelt Dime seems to garner no respect for some reason.&nbsp; Introduced in 1946 and replacing the popular mercury head dime, The Rossevelt dime honored the longest serving president in U.S. history who in addition to dying in office, also served most of his term with polio.&nbsp; He lead us out of The Great Depression and through WWII.&nbsp; Yet the Roosevelt dime seems to be the poor redheaded stepchild of coin collecting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Has anyone come across any articles that explain why this particular coin is so undesirable?&nbsp;&nbsp; </li> <li>Was the mercury head dime just that popular that nobody wanted it to be replaced?&nbsp; </li> <li>How many of you have a 1946-2006 complete collection of Rosies?&nbsp; </li> <li>Investors, is this a question of zigging while others are zagging?</li> </ul><p><span style="color: Blue"><font size="4"><i> Let&#039;s talk dimes.</i></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
