Sleepys Most Wanted (Roosevelt Dimes)

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!

I have two left to complete the Roosevelt 1946-1964 set from CRH (1949-S and 1955)
Also found 34 of the 81 mercury dimes.

Totals since 01-01-2007
---------------------------
Dimes searched: 2,068,892 ($206,889.20 worth)
pre-1965 Roosevelt: 1149
Mercury: 79
Barber: 2
Seated: 2
Silver Canadian: 76

Those totals don't include the 23 Roosevelt and 1 Merc that were found in an unknown amount searched in 2006

In other words I think it's doable, but it sure is taking a lot of effort. Hope you are getting there faster than I have so far.

Wow...those are really nice numbers! Wish I had've started CRHing sooner. I'm currently on pace to hit about 600 FDR's and 52 MERCs for $207K searched in dimes. Congrats on the Barbers and Seateds! That's one of my year end goals is to find a Barber. Good luck on the hunt to complete your FDR set. I imagine it will be an overly-satisfying feeling to fill that last hole. I'm down to 18, but of course 13 of those are in the Top 15. Tough sledding ahead I guess. Especially with the coins getting tougher and tougher to find nowadays. HH Sleepy.

Do you check every roll, or do you just spot check the sides?

Are any of the 1970-S cents small dates?

All the 1970S's look like large date to me, but you can see for yourself. My camera's not the best, so take it for what it's worth...

Ask/Complain and You Shall Receive: Find #31

Thursday After over a month without filling a hole, today proved to be the day. I was just saying on Sunday how I felt that a Top 15 FDR was coming. Well, it proved to be the #14 on the Most Wanted List. The first thing I saw was the 'S' on the back of the dime, so I gave the coin to my wife. "Is it a 1946? No, okay good...that's the only 'S' FDR I have so far". Then I started from #15...Unfortunately it ended pretty quickly. Anyway, it's good to cross another one off the list! Post a pic when my camera recharges... Dimes Box 1: 1960D Box 2: 1953S, 1962D, 1957 // NEW FIND!! Box 3: 1964D Box 4: 1964D //1986 Canadian
