How common are non full band Roosevelt dimes compared to full band Roosevelt dimes.
Are full band Roosevelt dimes collected the same way as full band Mercury dimes?
Just curious, thanks.

Some collectors (notably Onlyroosies and (I believe) Wondercoin) focus on FB Roosies almost exclusively.
I tend to prefer non-FB, just because they are usually way less expensive and one can often
find strong overall strikes w/o FB. For Mercs, I collect almost exclusively FB, as I find there is a much
stronger correlation with a solid strike on that design.
Take a 1946 PCGS MS67FB...there are a couple right now that can be had for $100-$200. What would the price be if it were any other denomination in this exact grade?
It is about worthless collecting to collect non-FB Roosevelts unless they are silver and MS68's or have impeccable toning. In the clad series, only a few key dates in MS67+ w/o FB are even worth it. Usually the dates/MM w/o FB or have 1-3 specimens in a lower MSFB grade.
This is a fantastic entry level series for beginner collectors such as kids to get involved with to introduce them to the wonderful world of Numismatics.
Unless something is dramatically done to this series to give it a catapult ie: a complete redesign, to me it is a dead series.
Collect it now while the prices are cheap...you may reap the rewards at a later date.
Later, Paul.

A redesign of the Roosevelt dime is inevitable...eventually. The Roosevelt dime is actually the longest-running U.S. coin series not to see a major redesign. Minor changes have been made, such as the placement of the mintmark. But there's never been a major overhaul.

That's about what the common Mercs in the 40's go for.
