Sleepy's Most Wanted (Roosevelt Dimes)

After having searched through $7,110 worth of dimes, I figured I'd get a Whitman Coin book (1946-1964 Dimes). I'm going to make it my goal to fill it by the end of the year! To the right is my "Most Wanted" List to help keep track of my progress. I want all of my finds to be from CRHing, so I won't be purchasing any of them. Here goes nothing! :headbang: 1)1955

She's beat up, but she's a beaut to me! This is my 4th Walking Liberty Half...Unfortunately, I already had a much better looking 1942. Huge fan of Walking Liberties.

A teller at a dump bank I only go to every two weeks or so held a silver dime for me. As if that wasn't awesome enough, I thought the date looked familiar. Sure enough, 1955!

Ouch. Dimes tapering off for you, Sleepy?

Just been a really busy semester for me. This is my last semester, so I won't have to worry about school getting in the way of my hunting. Usually I like to push through the skunks by upping the volume, but that's not really an option right now. Gimme a few more weeks and I'll get back to my summer form.
