Continuation Of A Raw Roosevelt Dime Set (1948 & 1949) In This Thread

About two weeks ago I started a thread about a raw Roosevelt dime set that I have worked on, at a very low level, for approximately 15-years. In that thread I shared the coins from 1946 and 1947. This evening I am listing the coins from 1948 and 1949. Those who have shot many raw coins in one session will immediately recognize the infuriating fiber across the date of the 1948-D. I hadn't noticed it until I was editing the images and by then I was in no mood to reshoot the coin. Others might recognize the significant die polish crazily marking the reverse of the 1949.
The original thread is below-
I hope you enjoy.

Very nice!
Wow, I had forgotten about the original thread by now so seeing your post was a pleasant surprise. And then all of the dimes turn out to be gorgeous as a bonus!! It was well worth the wait.
Pretty little things ...
Follow men’s eyes
As they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining
Weave the fabric of their dreams ...

Nice looking dime Bro! The hammered lower Full Bands on the 48-D are sensational. Wish they all looked like that.
Later, Paul.
Very attractive group!
