What a find!

I went to the Rockford, Il. area coin show last month and found a decent looking 1979 Roosevelt dime. I needed one for my set so I thought that I would fork over the $0.35 to buy it. I sent it in to PCGS and received a grade of MS67. Pop reports have it listed at 7/0. I think that I made a good deal, what do you think?

Let me know if you have had good luck like this.

Paul.

Later, Paul.

    Its not everyday that you get a good find like this one and I'm glad to see that I am not alone. I don't mind forking over the somewhat "hi" prices for a certain coin that I need for my set, but it is nice when you can find a coin raw, and send it in to PCGS and get a good grade. I think that everyone is deserving of that feeling once in a while.

    As to all who answered, I thank you and as for Wondercoin, well sorry, I must say that it will be in my set for a while, and thanks for the offer.

    Paul.

    Paul:

    That's wonderful news. And, it certainly happened to a deserving collector! (Indeed, offhand I can think of only collector more deserving....) I can imagine the grade you were hoping for when you submitted it, but what sort of grade did you guess at when you submitted it? And, do you know if this coin was from a mint set or retrieved from a roll?

    Congratulations once again! Especially so because this is a coin you "made" yourself. You took that dime from 35 cent obscurity to Wondercoin fame!

    Congrats!

    That is something to be proud of and PCGS isn't exactly giving out grades especially in those top pops. Well done!

    To answer Marks question, I was flipping through a notebook binder that one of the dealers had, the ones with the coins that nobody ever looks at and this coin was in a stapled cardboard flip. I also bought a couple of 96-D/P's and they graded MS67 also, along with a 73-D MS66 and a 82-D MS66.

    As for the 79, I thought that maybe it had a chance at MS66, turned out I was wrong. Glad to be wrong.image

    Paul:

    That was one heck of a notebook holder of coins! Sort of makes you want to go back and look at the rest of the coins in the notebook, eh?

    Once again, congratulations for some nice work! As we discussed before, you should take extra pride in your collection because of all the coins you "made" yourself!

    Paul,

    Sounds like you found some really great buys. Just take it easy on the Rosies, so I don't have to buy too many for my Wife's set, to keep up with yours. image Congrats!

    That's a great find....my best find was a 1977-D Ike that I sent in for grading and received a PCGS MS67 grade. I sold it on Teletrade back in auction 0992 (Oct. 97) for $525. The whole mint set I pulled it from wasn't much above face value.

    Now I wish I had kept it...what would it sell for todayimage
