The amazing 2010-D Roosevelt dime would be a grand choice, worthy of
the admiration and even veneration of all numismatists everywhere, in
this galaxy and beyond. Truly truly worthy of your editorial
expertise. Much much more worthy than the pathetic 2010-P Roosevelt
dime, one of the dregs of modern day coinage.

How dare you disparage the 2010P Roosie?
You must be a degenerate anti-American commie!
Every knowledgeable numismatist knows the 2010P Roosie is the utmost example of
coin design and the minter's art.
You, sir, are a poltroon!

Nay, Sir Bean. The 2010-P Roosevelt lacks any evidence whatsoever of
the minter's skill; it is a mere slug knocked out of the back of an
electrical "box" and passed surreptitiously in dark, foul places by
the fool who early took it by mistake (kind of like one of Tony
Cooper's "gold" coins, don't you know).
OTOH, the 2010-D Roosevelt is a gleaming trophy, whole, incarnate and
most desireable; a goal, a vertiable Grail sought by only the most
worthy of numismatists. Unless the Lady of the Lake herself has chosen
you and handed you a 2010-D Roosevelt, you may never find one by
yourself at all. A 2010-D Roosevelt is never found in a "details"
slab and never in the slab of a lower-tier TPG.
However, I can accept being titled a "poltroon", so long as I am not
compared to the present POTUS, who gives "poltroons" or "octoroons" or
"quadroons" or some kind of "roons" a bad name!
