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!

did you get a folder or album?
that's going to be hard to do by the end of the year

Definitely going to be tough unless you do a ridiculous amount of hunting- I'm guessing 1/3 of my finds have been '64s
Good luck though keep us updated

any reason why the list is in random order?

I got a lightly used coin folder from my LCS for $2. I wasn't sure how tough it was going to be to accomplish this goal, but I'm going to give it a try.

1 is rarest...48 is most common

Gotta love it when you get 2 and neither is a duplicate of what you have. Keep it up - you will surely complete your dime set before I finish my Jeff nick set - 4 to go: 38s, 39d, 45d, & 55.
