Will you start dumping your Roosevelts because they don't have the FT designation?

I can see where the registry sets will now provide bonus points for FT, but most FT coins will be in the old slabs. Will you have them regraded, or will you sell them and replace them with FT designated coins?

nwcs

Nope. I'm not going to be a slave to a slab anymore. The only time I might is if I was to sell the coin.

Yep. I spent all of mine yesterday.

No, this is nothing more than splitting hairs in my opinion, just another way to get collectors to resubmit their coins costing them more money.

luckly for me, I haven't gotten my Roosies graded... I have every year in mint state, but I have only 2 slabbed.......... I'll now send in whatever I have that may be FT and I'll buy the rest...

Once they set the attributes, it shouldn't be too difficult to check them in the slab. They should offer a very low charge to reslab with FT label. $5-10 with a less than 30 day return!
Yeah, like that's going to happen in my lifetime!

onlyroosies

Right now you can send in any coin for designation review for $10. I'm told this will fall under this tier.

having accumulated FT roosies in anticipation of this era, i am getting ready to slab and sell many of my high grade FT roosies over the next few months, trying to sell into the coming strength while the pops are low. I will keep a set or two in FT for my own collections, but will sell most, because there are a LOT of OBW rolls of dimes out there that contain lots of FT coins. I don't have many non-FT coins to "dump" because they're mostly all gone in the case of rolls, and never bought in the case of singles, so to answer your title question, no.

No. I buy the coin not the holder. If I like the coin and the holder says FT, I'll buy the coin. If the holder doesn't say FT and I like the coin, I'll buy it. As my Board name implies, I'm into Rosy's for the color and the toning. Grade is great but a premium for an over-dipped white coin just because the plastic says "FT" - not for this collector!

In fact, anyone that wants to dump beautifully toned PCGS MS67 Rosy's that not only don't have FT but are soo weakly struck so you can't even see the lower bands of bulb at the bottom of the torch, feel free to dump them on me at current PCGS MS67 prices - Ft or not FT a beautiful coin is a beautiful coin.

I've never been to fired up on rosies.

>>>because there are a LOT of OBW rolls of dimes out there

For kicks I went through some of my Silver rossie rolls last night. For some dates FT is a no brainer. However some dates are really tough. I was only able to find 2 50-P's in a roll that would FT, well at least what I think FT will mean. The 50-P, although not a impossible coin to find in 67, is more difficult than most. I bet there are a few dates that will only have a handful in 67FT. SO the answer to your question is no, at least for me.
