Nick. Great detective work. Now that Hansen is possibly through (quite possibly after missing his chance at picking up THE greatest Roosevelt Dime out there) can you track down the PR66 1975 No S Dime? I could use it in my Top 100 Modern set. My AAPL stock has made a good run this past year. I have a few extra dollars to spend now.

I would bet several collectors are hunting for the PR66 1975 No S Dime. I bet it shows up at auction real soon. On another note, Hansens True Views are all loaded except for the 46D. You all have to check out the 51P. That coin has never (until now) been seen. That coin has changed hands multiple times (through me) privately for 30 years. Good thing Hansen doesn't send in coins for regrade. The 51P is an MS68+FB all day long 7 days a week and could someday possible be the first MS69FB Silver Roosie. for those of you attending the Roosie Dinner on Thursday ask me about the 30 year history on that coin. and the 53P, 63P, 61D, 50S and 55D.

This is what my investigation turned up. All 48 Dimes in Hansen’s #1 silver set disappeared from the pop report. A few days later they were all back, but with one change. All now had the “Hansen” pedigree on the tag. I ran every Cirt number and all 48 except 2 had his Name added. His 48D and 46D did not. Then I found them in his 3rd set with his pedigree. He just hasn’t flipped those 2 out yet. None of his other Dimes in set#3 were pedigreed. You can make your own conclusion but my conclusion (guess) is:
His #2 set “Diana’s Roosies” is a gift set to someone special in his life named Diana. That set will stay as is.
He’s happy with his #1 silver set and is content for now calling it complete.
His 3rd silver set is a bit baffling. Keep or sell? I know he has turned down a couple offers for a few individual Dimes. Since it’s a complete set I’m leaning towards he’s keeping it as is and intact for now.
Just my 10c worth
Still: Onlyroosies
Here is what MY investigation turned up. Hansen has reslabbed all of his clads with exception of about 18 of them. All the TV's are up. Also since we all love dimes (At least I do) Gerald Forsythe has just retired his #1 Mercury Dime set with major varieties 1916-1945 which puts Hansen's #2 set in first place. No word if Forsythes set is for sale as that purchase would be north of $4 million in my estimates...that is if Hansen was to aquire it intact, but alas, he has 3 Mercury sets in the top 4 slots. Holy Cripes those are some serious sets.
I haven’t been over to the Hansen Watch thread in a while but I’m wondering if he’s pedigree-ing all his other coins, essentially capping it all (with the exception of those few coins he still needs). Given his well known plans he still needs to focus on building the DLH Monument . . . I mean “numismatic museum”.

Nick,
I believe I recognize a few of those coins, like the 55D and the 52. Sort of cool having some of (oops, ours) my former coins in the two top sets.

I know they are not up to TrueView level, but not to bad for a shade-tree collector.

BTW I just did a small random sampling of all of Hansen’s sets and it looks like he’s pedigreed his entire collection (1/2c through $20). Now, whether this means he actually takes his foot off the gas from collecting we don’t know. But can you imagine what the uniformity of thousands of personal pedigreed slabs looks like in one place? I’ll slam him every now & then, but the truth is that would truly be a sight to behold.
I just purchased the 5 remaining Silver Roosies I need (basics) in 67. Now all are 67 with 9 in 67+'s. I know this doesn't compare to a lot of the Dimes mentioned here, but this was my goal. A big thanks to Danny Biddle for letting me have these.
I am so glad that I was able to help you accomplish your goal Jon.
I hope to be able to help all of the other Roosie collectors in some way.
These dimes were bought by me about 20 years ago.
I am sure they are happy with their new HOME.
Regards,
Danny

@DIMEMAN just because you don't have the top dimes doesn't mean they aren't welcome here. We can always use more dimes of yours to laugh at, I mean look at and talk about.

Trust me, from what I read between the lines in the "Hansen thread" he is FAR from done. I would pay to see all of his slabs in 1 display. I bet it would be truly remarkable and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope someone published a nice big coffee table book on them.

Just a couple comments. Mr. Hansen had his core collection re-holdered with trueview pictures while they were out of the plastic. I was not given the exact number, but I believe it to be north of 6000 coins. He did not do anything with his duplicates. The purpose was because he wanted a consistent look with his collection. So, 6K+ coins were cracked out! He redesigned his label. It is not blue, but has a light grayish silver look. I posted a view of new look on Hansen watch a couple weeks ago.
I make this posting on this thread by saying, I don't believe his Roosy collection is complete. It may be, but if new opportunities were to come up, I think he would upgrade if the coin intrigue him.
There is a story to tell on his duplicates, but it is after 11:00 pm, so I will save for another day.
@lablover Jim, look at the two 55-D again. Hansen’s and yours are not the same coin. Don’t quote me, but I believe nick bought a 55-D on eBay raw for $30, and got it into a 68FB holder. I believe it’s the same coin which is in Hansen’s #1 set.

The 55D I bought off eBay that you refer to is not the Hansen coin. The ebay 55D ended up in the JHF collection and disappeared after JHF Dimes went to auction. Jim is correct. He and I once owned the Hansen 55D together when it was in the NGC 68*FT holder. We sold our NCC set to the Arthur Goman Collection. The set was eventually broken up and many Dimes including the Hansen 55D were crossed to PC. I then acquired it back for my collection.
I don’t know what went wrong with the true view photo but the 2 55D’s in Jim’s post are the same coin and I can attest that the jimView pic is what the coin actually looks like.

I have been asked 3x's about this dime 1946-S Roosevelt Dime Sans Serif MM FS-504 PCGS MS-66 FB. Boy it stirred up the bidding pot. Funny thing is the pop (1/0) was sitting on eBay for a week before it sold for about $1,000.
More will/should be made now. 1946-S is one of the easiest MS66FB and higher dimes in the silver series.
I was the 2nd place bidder on that coin last night on Great Collections with a max bid of $1222.00
I was surprised that my bid did not win the auction, and to say the least, a little disappointed.
