Wow look how much this is going for, yeah 55d in 67 are rarely seen, but come on.

Dang, I don't get that! $1,100++ for an MS67 1955 Rosevelt? And... and .... it's WHITE!

Ya Braddick, those collectors of original white coins can be just as crazy as those collectors of original toned coins.
(Geeze, for $1100 I could buy an 1873CC quarter in good and have a coin that was worth something)

c'mon, dudes!!! teletrade is THE WORST for reliability, considering how many consignors buy back their coins. been there, done that. their "estimates" are absolutley 100% MEANINGLESS with regard to reality, in my opinion.

jom,

Glad to see some board members picked some of those Roosies up. I bid on 2 or 3 of them, but wasn't able to win any.

Thanks Keith. I bid on 6 coins but got 5 of them! Yay. I missed out on the 49-S by a couple of bucks But the price I set was as far as I wanted to go. They were pretty neat coins, IMO.

My Take: MS Silver Roosies in top grade are still collected rather privately (just try to buy a couple PCGS-MS68 silver Roosies on the open market from existing pops - near impossible). Remember, PCGS has never graded a single PCGS-MS68 white silver Roosie to my knowledge of any date 1946-1964 (there is a rumor that -1- MS68 is white, but I have never seen it). Compare that to hundreds and hundreds of PCGS-MS68 (and even perhaps MS69) white Mercuries. A blast white 1955(d) Roosie in grades 67 and better is a very difficult coin to obtain. My guess is that at least (2) serious collectors needed a blast white 55(d) to close in on a perfect set of brilliant MS67 Roosies. There are a handful of Roosies that are extremely difficult to obtain in blast white PCGS-MS67 and 1955(d) is in that group. Wondercoin.
