RE: The Old Roosevelt Dime: The "Dollar" Coin of the 1960's
I have Two Brand New $5 Rolls of 90% Silver 1964-D "Dimes" that I got from the Bank in 1964... They're worth plenty... I was actually looking for Mercury Dimes, but decided to keep the Brand New Dimes...

Brilliant! Because dimes are so common today, it seems like it'd be so easy to collect giant jars of coins... but the spending power of the collection back then would be like boxes of 5 and 10 and 20 dollar bills today. It would be tempting to spend those valuable coins instead of keeping them sealed. A couple fistfuls of that coin jar could get you a Filet Mignon dinner at a fancy restaurant!
