TPETERS's Bio
Hi!
Thanks for checking out my Bio. I am 51 and have been collecting some type of coin since age 9. Mostly Lincoln Cents and have graduated to modern coinage. I have developed some major health issues and am currently trying to overcome this set back. Having been unemployed for the past 5 years has really slowed my collecting down. But I can appreciate the true sense of collecting in a much different light.
As you can see I have also taken a liking to Proof Sets. I don't know how far I will go with the Proof sets. Maybe 2011 then stop.

Have shifted gears a little. Roosevelt Dimes are now #1 on my "hit" list. I have put a lot of effort to get where I am with this set in as much I just started the "65 and up" set 3 months ago.
As with life, focus changes with time. Just means I have more things to look for!

Well.... I have almost finished my Roosevelt Dime collection. Not totally done but, I have managed to get to 3rd in the Circulated Complete set in 15 months time. Not bad for a poor little boy from Iowa!
If you want a challenge try getting "FT" dimes! Some are very hard to find in top grades. I only wanted NGC coins in my 46-date set so it will not get much better than it is now. There are so few 68FT'f and there are many that are pop 1. So 67FT is as good as it gets.
I will now change directions and go into Lincoln Cents next. I have a weak start on the set, but enough to get me off the ground.
