Roosie Question From A Lincoln Collector.

I don't collect Roosevelt dimes, so I don't own a Roosie registry set nor do I possess any knowledge regarding this coin. However, this Forum produces many Roosie threads that the registry set owners do
respond to. I could use some advice and/or information regarding a Roosie item I've owned for over 45
years. When I was a paperboy in 1960, a customer paid me with a roll of dimes, which I saved. I finally
opened this roll last week. It's a bu roll of 1951D Roosevelt dimes. The coins are lusterous and have lots
of eye appeal. I wanted to know if this is a fairly common item or a nice find. I'm thinking maybe I could
sell the roll, sell the coins individually, or maybe submit a few. Ya see, I'd rather have some more Lincolns.
Shameful, I know!
Without seeing the coins, does anyone have any thoughts? I tried The Coin Forum,
but didn't get any replies.

to get old BU rolls going into the banks.
The '51-D roll is early enough that they are not extremely common but was
made in large numbers and they were accessible and saved by many. Today
these wholesale at only about $80 per roll and you'll probably find it difficult
to get much more.
There are a couple RPM's with one being extremely common. Good strikes
are common. Unless there are some very nice gems they probably aren't worth
the cost of slabbing.

So if you get some that absolutely take your breath away with Lustre and Strike
Go for it in the higher grades I think they'd be worth sending in for grading.
Just my thoughts. I've got a few that are nice toners graded but the nice GEMS
are in my Dansco Album. They're a great coin but don't have the following that
the Lincoln Cent series have. I'm with you on that end. Lincolns Definitely are
HOT at the Shows and will command much more interest when selling.
