SeanJ Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I liked EVP's lil trivia on half dimes so much I decided to do one on dimes (my series of choice). To carry on EVP's discussion: In your opinion, what are the "key dates" when talking about coins AU50+ in this series? Prize? EVP & TDN get to buy me a beer or two at FUN (sounds fair?) Well, it does for me and its my trivia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVillageProwler Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hmmm... In no particular order: '73-CC N/A (unique!), '73-CC W/A, '74-CC, '71-CC, '72-CC, '43-O, '45-O, '46, '59-S, '60-O, Civil War S mints. The big 4 of the CC mints (minus the unique one) is especially tough to find w/o corrosion. EVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanJ Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 What a sleeper than 45-O and 43-O in AU50+. When I first started collecting dimes, you could get a nice AU50 example of the 45-O for @ $850-950. To bad I wasnt into regualr issue coins, was to busy w/ hunting down the tough varities. Its really to bad too, because when time came around to me getting a nice 45-O in AU50, you couldnt find one under $1200. The 43-O is another tough SOB to find, when I finally tracked down an XF45 I paid a heavy cost, almost as much as my 59-S in XF45. Oh man, I could talk about these coins all damn day, but I cant because I got a paper to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanJ Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 EVP, Naw... Ray Lathrop over at CU did. He got me into the series. It was funny tho, because I kinda started the reverse way one would start collecting a series. I first started a basic circulated I picked up a few common varities along the way and forgot about the circulated set totally. Eventually when I had most the harder varities I began collecting a few dates in MS, ya know, "just to have". Finally, Ray suggested I not mess around to much w/ the common stuff and focus on the harder dates. And the saga continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanJ Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 HAHAHAHA.... NO . As a college student right now, i have to make my buying less and less, so right now im going after some awesome toned dimes. Its great, im finding amazingly toned coins at a SMALL fraction w/ a blast white would run me. I tried to pick up a few "rainbow roosies" on ebay the past few weeks, but after bids went 10x above bid i said hell w/ that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
