Finally Completed My Silver Rosie Set

[tank014]

Well the illusive plain 1955 Rosie finally found me. It's been an incredibly long time since I've posted anything to this forum but I figured that this was an achievement that I had to share with everyone. It took me roughly 4 years to do and I'm very happy to have it completed by finding them all through crhing.
Thanks and HHing,
Frank

Thanks a bunch for all of the kudos. I forgot how awesome everyone is on this board. As for what I'm doing next... I'm just going to keep up with my normal pickups and keep collecting those pretty white rimmed coins. I had a great score of quarters a year ago and I think I may give that book a try. Lately I've been averaging about 1 silver for every 2 boxes I go through. Once again thanks a lot and I'll let everyone know when I get that book done too.
HH,

I think a Franklin set is possible....
Or a short set of Kennedy clad proofs....
or a set of all silver Kennedy, minus teh 1998 satin, and silver proofs.

There was a time period where I was going through 20+ boxes of dimes a week. I pulled something like 460 dimes in 1 calender year when I was doing that. I've cut back significantly and do maybe 2 to 4 a week now just because after 10 years of enjoying this hobby I hate to say it but I've started to enjoy other things a little more.
As for Mercs I have a little over 2 rolls. I've found three barbers. Also my pride and joy is my 1886 seated dime!

Thanks and HHing,
Frank
