What is the Best Type Set of Dimes to Collect?

THE COINS OF THE UNITED STATES have seen some interesting, educational, and just plain fun changes in the past few decades. An entire generation of collectors have come of age collecting quarters with reverses that change several times a year. Our five-cent piece has seen several different designs in the past two decades. Our humble cent has undergone some changes on the reverse in the past few years. We even have several different possibilities for dollar coins, although we’ll have to admit not many of us see them in change on a daily basis. Yet in the midst of all this, our ten-cent pieces, our work horse dimes, have sported the same design for 75 years now. That may seem a bit boring – but that also may be a great starting point for a type set of dimes that doesn’t cost too much to assemble.
