Grades are:
1953 PR67
1964 PR68
1958-D MS67FB
1955 PR67
1958 MS67
1950 MS67FB
1957-D MS66
1958-D MS67FB
1957-D MS67
1948 MS65FB

Winner of the contest with 7 points is @ffcoins.
2nd place goes to @CoinJunkie with 5 1/2 point and 3rd to @mannie gray with 5 points.

As you can see based on the grades the winner receives the 1948 MS65FB dime.

Just got some results from PCGS on a submission of 10 Roosevelt Dimes.
To enter the contest just guess the grades of each coin and any designations, there are a mix of proof and mint state, for the proof coins please guess the grade only, no designations. You get 1 point for a correct grade plus a 1/2 point for a correct designation but lose half point for a correct grade with wrong designation. If a coin is graded MS69 and you guess MS69FB you only get 1/2 a point. If I coin Is graded MS69FB and you guess MS69 you only get a 1/2 point. If it’s MS69 and you guess MS69 it’s 1 point and if it’s MS69FB and you guess MS69FB you get 1 1/2 points. Highest total wins. Winner of the contest will receive the lowest graded dime of the bunch. Wonder which one it is? Contest will end sometime on Thursday afternoon/evening. Only edits done before I post that guessing is closed will be allowed. Good luck!

    Not a clue on grades, but those are some pretty Roosies.

    I'm assuming no plus grades since no mention of them in the post...

    Very nice!
    I won't guess as Roosies are hard for me and my eyes are hurting already tonight.

    I will say that @onlyroosies , @lablover , @Stooge and a few others should come here and give it a try.....these guys know Roosies!

    PCGS not letting me post my guesses for some reason. I’ve PM’ed them to @Rob41281 and will keep trying to post. Nice dimes!

    Edit: It let me post once I added “my guesses.” Seems it auto filters long lists of numbers and letters.

    TTT, will close thread to guesses at approximately 4pm EST today and announce winner shortly after.

  • labloverlablover Posts: 3,632 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Fun contest Rob, thanks!

    Perhaps I should collect something other then Roosies. Only got one (1) correct. But, like I always say: you can't grade based on an image... :)

    Congrats & Thanks for the contest!
    These are great for learning. Are FB’s graded the same across the entire series or do some years have more forgiveness?

  • CoinJunkieCoinJunkie Posts: 8,772 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Generally, the standards for FB are pretty consistent across the series. PCGS might be a little more strict where there's a massive value jump, such as 1958-P.

  • Rob41281Rob41281 Posts: 2,399 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Now that’s it’s over I’ll reveal more info. These were all crackouts. Grades remained close to the originals. 64 proof went from 67cam to 68 no cam. 55 proof from 68 to 67. The 57D 67* is the one that dropped to 66.
    2 coins gained FB that didn’t originally have it. One of the 58Ds and the 48 that graded 65FB. That one I don’t have the label but was in an icg 67 holder.

    To me, the only one that had a chance at FB was the 58 D.
    I had these two graded and they're the reason I was a little gun shy.

    67+ no fb, no pl, very strict.

    PR65...65 :s

    That's pretty cool. And sent in raw without given any credence to the current grades, kinda scary.
    Congrats.
