For those who have not seen Jason's Roosie Registry Set, take a look. He's built a very nice colorful set. And, it's #9 in the Basic Category. Congrats Jason!!!

With a set like this who cares what position you are in the registry. Great accomplishment Jason. Congratulations on building a beautiful Roosie dime set. I even see a couple of old friends of mine in there.
So hard to pick a favorite, I love the 53S.

I Hear we will be seeing you at the Thursday night Roosie Dinner. I look forward to meeting you and shaking your hand and congratulating you in person.

Beautiful set! I love the 46-S and 47-D (in addition to that 54-D).

Sounds like we'll have quite the roosie gang at FUN. Woo Hoo...

If you intend to attend the Roosie dinner on a Thursday evening, PM Onlyroosies. We are losing track of attendees. Thanks.

I like the 1960

Walkerfan · December 17, 2019 8:04PM

Great set from beginning to end. Lots of nice toners in there.

Welcome back! It's going to be quite a gathering of Roosie collector's at FUN! Can't wait. Too bad Paul (Stooge) one of the main guys won't be there.

Hi Folks,

Well, apparently Santa grades for PCGS during the holiday season. I sent in a box of 20 Roosies for Regrade and TrueView on the Economy tier just before Thanksgiving. Eight out of 20 coins got a grade bump (six went 67 => 67+, one went 66+ => 67, one went 66+ => 67+FB). Another coin simply got an FB designation added. To say these results exceeded my expectations would be a gross understatement based on some other recent Regrade submissions (at Regular tier, no less).

Included in the box of 20 were 4 MS67 Roosies (47-D, 51-D, 51-S, 54) from my Registry set that I thought had a good shot at a plus. All but the 54 did receive the plus! I also sent in a duplicate 49-D I bought a while back in a PCGS MS67 holder. That coin also got the plus, and has replaced the old 49-D in my set.

The net result is that my current rank jumped from #9 to #6. Watch out, Hansen!! Objects in rear view may be closer than they appear...

Old 49-D (MS67)

New 49-D (MS67+)

I was never happy with the old TrueView of my 51-S, which is one of my favorite coins in the set. The new images really show off the rim toning much better, with the unfortunate side effect of highlighting the mark under FDR's jaw. I'll live with the trade-off.

Love the electric blue in the bottom 51S! Great looking coins and congrats on the great submission!

Thanks for the positive comments! The 51-S is a coin that really has to be experienced in hand for full effect. The blue on the rims really dances as you tilt it back and forth, and it has tons of luster.

Beautiful coins CJ!!

Thanks for the input, Jon. I'm about 80% of the way toward completion of a second full Roosie set, and the original 49-D will go into that one. My ultimate goal is to crack the all-time Top 5 with my #1 set, so I'm making a push for numerical upgrades now. The purpose of the second set will mainly be to make beautiful Roosies available for public viewing with rank being secondary.

erwindoc · January 24, 2020 5:30PM

Are you going to take your set ATS? Seems like some new sets are popping up.

You can be a PC guy and still list it ATS. Danny did it

I won this on GreatCollections last weekend. Just received it and am very pleased to add it to my set. Superb luster, especially on the obverse, much better than average for the date.

67+FB

Rob41281 · January 30, 2020 7:35PM

Was a bidder on that and forgot to check back before the auction ended. Its a beauty.

Great score, pretty coin!!!

CoinJunkie · February 8, 2020 1:39PM

UPDATE: It's been a very active last couple of months for me on the Roosie front. The biggest news is I finally acquired enough duplicates to post another complete set. It's currently #17 in the Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (46-64) category. Not all of the coins have images at this time.

Also, in December, I acquired several very nice coins from Mark James, who had decided to sell off his Roosie set. Those coins were sent to PCGS for imaging and regrade. I did not expect any upgrades except for an FB designation on a 48p that had been in a 67 holder, which is exactly how it turned out. That coin is currently in my #2 set. The coins from Mark's set that represent upgrades to my #1 set are the 50d, 53, 57d, and 60d. All are in 67+ holders and replaced coins in 67 holders. I was expecting a top pop bonus on the 53, but because there's a single 68FB coin, PCGS does not award it. Seems wrong for a set where there's no bonus for FB, but the rules are the rules, I guess.

Here's the TrueView for the 53. The luster is fantastic for the date.

Lablover owns the only other non-FB 67+, and his is more of a true rainbow.

erwindoc · February 8, 2020 2:50PM

Tom147 · February 8, 2020 4:01PM

CoinJunkie · February 8, 2020 4:19PM

Shout out to Danny Biddle, who now has six (!!!) complete sets posted in the 46-64 non-FB category. All his sets are in the current top 25, as well. Nice job, Danny!

lablover · February 8, 2020 7:09PM

Oh Danny,

Hey, that 1947-S MS67 Blue I got from you at FUN...it's now a 67+. On my first regrade, dang, I hate it when that happens.

Sorry dude...

DANNY · February 9, 2020 5:41AM

That coin was always one of my favorite toned Roosies.
It originally was in a MS67 holder from ATS.
Nick knew it would crossover, so he sent it to PCGS for me while he
was searching through all of my dimes, and it did.
I am happy that it upgraded for you.
It is so easy to look at.
Another satisfied Roosie collector.
Life is good!!!!
Regards,
Danny

@CoinJunkie There 2 sets of sets for Roosies. The FB sets give a 2 point bonus for FB's.

Understood. I meant that if MS67+ is the highest grade awarded to a 1953 non-FB dime, then IMHO coins at that grade should be considered top pops in non-FB sets, and awarded a bonus. Whether there is a higher-graded FB coin for the date shouldn't be considered in that context.

I'll stop by the PCGS booth at the Long Beach show next week and mention it. Probably won't lead anywhere, but it never hurts to ask.
