[QUOTE="cladking, post: 164679, member: 68"]The clad dimes are mostly very underappreciated. It's tough to put together a circulated set of these and there are no BU rolls of many dates. To assemble an unc set there is almost no choice but to cut up the mint sets and many of these coins are unattractive. And the mint sets just keep disappearing as more are cut up to make this sort of set. I like the silvers also but these tend to be much more of a known quantity.
