@AlanSki
What is going on at the base of the neck on the 55. It looks FB to me as for grading I’m having a hard time reading your pictures. I also see to much chatter on the torch to be above a 66 however like
I said I’m having trouble interrupting those pictures
The 55 looks solid 67fb, the 48 66fb. Of course I'm average to slightly above average in grading. Which means I'm only off by a point either way. LMAO !!!
@Tom147
I really can’t tell from those pictures but I don’t think that 55 has it. I could be wrong by what I see in the photos.
Take a look at the torch all the scuff marks up and down the torch. Look at you 67 and 66 (if you have any 66s) you won’t see that much chatter. Also not sure what on the lower neck line it might be toning if it’s not toning that coin might not make 65. But one again I don’t like the pictures. But pictures usually hide thing. I would not touch those coins at that type of said grade from those photos
I have 65 thru 67's in all years. Unfortunately I don't have access to them at the moment. I did go back through the pictures. I see what you mean on about the torch scuff marks on the 48. 66 at best but I do believe it would make full bands. The 55 looks better to me. Question I have, how would the die crack affect the grading ?
@Tom147
Good question on the die crack. I really don’t know either. I would think that in lower grade 66 and lower it wouldn’t necessarily be a factor. However In grades above that, especially in higher dollar coins it may limit the grade.
I would think @onlyroosies would have good insight on the question.
Also while I was actually on a computer and not my phone I like the above dimes better the pictures are somehow better than what my phone was showing. I hope the dimes owner did not take offense to my thoughts.
Betting Jay isn't a Forum kind of guy. Does anyone know who Jay is? Is Jay even his real name? Hmmmmm!!
I'll keep watching as his set continues to move up. It will take some big upgrades and a lot of time to pass Hansen and hit #2.

I don't think so. I've dug up enough info on Jay and his set to rule that out. I also believe he's holding back some Roosie's that would upgrade his set. I just don't know why. Maybe he wants to make a run at John's set, Maybe he's just playing with us.
I just know I'll be dropping to # 4 as the 56 D in hi grade isn't that hard of a coin to obtain. Looking at the rest of his beautiful set, it's something I can't compete with. I don't think he has a shot at John though, The Halcyon set has to many top pop 1/0's.

He added the 56D in 66FB. Probably just a hole filler for now. Jay is now solidly in the #3 spot. I think he has a shot at passing Hansens set, No way he can pass John, and John has no intention of selling or breaking up his set anytime soon.
Jim, Do you still have your 63P 67FB. Jay needs that coin. Might be a deal to be made.

Hey Nick- where did that 1947-D dime that just got graded 68+FB originally come from?
My suggestion to John (for what it’s worth) assuming that he just decided to pass on the 68+FB dime… sell all your great coins to Jay now (and others that want them). Then, we can market your Mintage 2 1975 NO S dime I sold to you along with my Unique 1976 NO S Ike. You should do great overall and “pass the baton” as I did once and Nick did twice! 😊

Mitch,
The coin came from Coppercolor (Jeff Kelbe) at last year's FUN Show. I believe it was handled over a few drinks.

I have been working on and off on a Roosevelt clad set since 2014. I am hoping to complete this year prior to the ten year anniversary. The set is not designed to be at registry set, but in organizing it the past few weeks, I did create a registry set. I am three coins short. I have not had any luck in finding a specimen that I like. I am fairly picky, so I had rather keep the set incomplete than add a coin that does not fit the goals of the set. The recent breakup of Danny’s set, really is what got me interested in this little set the past couple weeks. I was able to pickup about a half dozen of his #2 set coins that works well in mine set. The last three coins that I need, he has better (lower pops) than what I am looking for.
Paul gave permission to post this on his thread. His thoughts on my needs are: The 1969 is a tuffy, but the 92 and 98 are doable. Post on the Roosie thread I'm OP on and you might get a hit. To be honest, I'm not sure who is still looking for Roosies anymore.. So here goes… Do anyone know where can find at least a couple these Roosevelts?

Currin, what's the name of your Registry set ? I'm kinda hesitant to bring this up but...... I do have all three which obviously are not for sale as they're in my # 5 set. I didn't realize the pop on these three. That being said, I will check my inventory. If I have duplicates ( kinda doubtful given the population ) I'll be sure to reach out to you. I'll let you know one way or the other. Probably be mid next week as I'm dealing with a family crisis at this time.
Thanks Tom,
Sorry to hear about the family crisis. That’s the most important thing you have going on. If you do find anything that will help. Pease let me know.
Since Jay hasn't replied to any post on the boards I don't feel it's my place to comment on the 47D 68+FB. If you go back and reread a few of my previous post it's pretty easy to figure out where the coin came from.
Nick- my question was simply does the coin have its roots in any of the coins or coin collections that we created the magnificent Superior brochure about? Has nothing to do with whether Jay comes here or not. It’s a simple question about the coins and collections that were pictured or mentioned in the Superior brochure. Was the coin part of those collections or coins mentioned in the coffee table book that I took great pains to produce for Roosie enthusiasts? If anyone else knows, feel free to answer as well.

The 47D 68+FB was found raw in an album by Jeff Kelbe within the last 2 years. Submitted to NGC where it graded 69FB. I bought the coin from Jeff and resold it about 10 months later. the coin was then crossed down at PCGS to 68+FB and sold to a private collector where it resides now.
Paul. No. It was sold through Superior auctions, because they agreed to publish the stand alone coffee table paperback book at no charge to get that consignment.

How easy or difficult is it to find clad Roosevelt dimes with eye appealing, multi colored toning like that present on the 1966 dime shown immediately above?
I have a few toned early clad Roosevelt dimes (mostly SMS dimes and proof dimes) that are very attractive.
I also have a set of toned MS silver Roosevelts that I bought years ago. Overall the set of silver dimes are eye appealing, but except for a few coins, they would grade at best an MS63 or MS64.
Rosie, a grape knee-high, please.
Question. On the reverse of this 1969 quarter, in the south-east looks to me like a finger shaped, view of a sunrise tone, peaking through the darkness.
This to me screams AT

The obverse although, reflects how pastel's are so smooth without the print as on the reverse. NT. It just popped up so ...?
Any helpful conclusion's to this mystery ?

Just received my 1982-P MS67FB crossover
That is one clean Roosie.
forgot to add that it was an NGC MS67FT - straight graded over
I know it's hard to tell from pictures but ms67 kinda surprised me. 67+ wouldn't have surprised me.
Does any grading service care about strike anymore? 😉
