<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 164670, member: 5454&quot;]I bought two rolls of silver dimes from a girl at work.&nbsp; She had inherited them from her grandmother.</p><p>They were supposed to be Mercs but turned out to be Rosies.&nbsp; Anyway it darn near made me pass out when I saw the uncirculated condition.&nbsp; Seems her grandfather used to bring them home and stash them away ever since 1946.&nbsp; So that made me go out and buy a brand new Dansco and start an uncirculated&nbsp; set.</p><p>So I have one complete set 1946 to 2006D.&nbsp; I had to buy a few, the 1955D and 1955 cost $7 each.&nbsp; The 1946S also was $7.&nbsp; </p><p>Then I picked up a complete circulated 1946 to 1966 set at the Hartford coin show for $50.&nbsp; I used 10 of them to fill the holes in the Dansco.</p><p>Funny,&nbsp; the hardest year to find was a 1974D.&nbsp; Finally bought it from a guy here.</p><p>I never liked the coin, and never considered collecting it;&nbsp; but those brilliant uncirculated rolls of Roosevelts changed that.</p><p>Now I have the leftover extras&nbsp; from 1946 to 1964 put in 2X2 holders and in those 20 coin pocket plastic notebook pages. I have 5 pages (about 90 dimes) of extra BU in a three ring notebook. </p><p>6 months ago I had just three silver Roosevelt dimes.&nbsp; I do enjoy looking at them and showing them to relatives.&nbsp;&nbsp; I figure my total invested is around $100.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
