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

Okay, messed with it. Looks like we've got a 1942 MERC, a date that I already had, but it's always good to find Mercs.

I do the aluminum foil and baking soda trick with my nasty ones. I soak it for a while then scrub it with a tooth brush and then repeat.

Just put my silver Roosies in a vintage Harris binder from the late 60's that I found in a free box this morning. I have 20 unique ones out of 35 total!

The #5 countdown coin came earlier than I expected. I got a 1946-S in bad shape tonight. So now I only have four more to go.
HH everyone!
