You da man!! Congratulations on a neat achievement. Now you can sell me those really pretty 67s with the great toning -- they are useless to a 68 man like you!!!!
rainbowroosie, who's best coins reside in inferior NGC holders......

with a photo of the 55D but then I remembered how much rainbowroosie likes to give me guff about the 54 being his dime.
I added many FB dimes to my set too but one particular one that stands out is a blast white 1954 PCGS MS67FB that came from
colorfulcoins. Its only the second one made in MS67FB. I convinced him that it was a little to white for his set so it came my way.
Nice coin Craig.

I actually have many prettier roosies than the 54 you use for your icon -- tell me which color scheme you'd like to claim "as being yours" (how about a red/green coin) and I'll have "greattoning" do you up a really fabulous icon befitting your new found eminence as king of the roosie hill.

So much for the bottleneck at the top. Amazing job. Have you been hoarding those 68fbs as raw coins for years?
It certainly raises the bar. Very impressive. I wonder if I have some 69fbs in some of my old albums?

I know of only 2 PCGS MS68FB blast white Roosies. This one could be the 3rd. I'll keep you posted.

computer yesterday so I was able to list it.

I may never submit another coin to PCGS again.
Also, ask him how many times he's tried to get it crossed and how many people - including Board members that said it wouldn't go.........there's "no rubbing it in here"......just interesting to learn whathappens to coins we sometimes give up on!

I'm having the same issue with a 1936 Lincoln PR66RDCAM. It's in an NGC holder, never been up for auction, I've had it since it was made, and I can't get it crossed. I'm not giving up on that one.
Congratulations on hitting the number 1 spot! I have been lurking on the Registry forum for a while and thought it was a good time to join in. You and Craig have been great to me the last several years as I have tried to build a nice registry set of Roosies. You both have been very helpful and patient. I was excited to find that I had a 1/0 coin with my 1954 67FB dime. I guess PCGS hasn't had time to put the other one up as of now. I will be content to have a pop 1 for a day or two. Anyway, my Regan's Roosevelt's is presently number 29 and falling. I will keep trying to improve my set. I am going to give my old sets a look in search of the second 68FB 1955. Congrats again, Nick.

It does have a small cut in the hair but its well concealed. I think the strike and the fact that it appears original and never dipped
is what got it to finally cross.

1. I was the under bidder on Teletrade when Doug originally bought. I had a PCGS MS68 50D at the time and was looking for a filler in case I sold that coin (which I did)
2. Doug put the coin on ebay, perhaps twice or just once, and I thought I could get but was sniped at the end by Brian.
3. Brian eventually sold the coin to Nick who had the coin in his set as a duplicate with another toned 50D NGC MS68*. He offered it to Mitch to put in his case at the Feb Long Beach show and I again could have bought it - looked at it again.
4. After Long Beach, I offered Nick to buy his duplicate NGC MS68* which was that white coin. Nick agreed but when I opened the package he sent to me, it was his toned 50D* coin not the white coin I expected. Given I like toned coins, that wasn't a problem.
The rest, of course, is history.
Nick, thanks for sharing a picture of that coin with all of us in its new holder!

You know that old saying "I'd rather be lucky than good". In Nick's case, I believe he is both lucky and good. It might take slightly more of an effort than I first thought in knocking him out of first place on these Roosies and keeping him out for good

Sometimes is just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. I always felt that if a white coin had a shot
to go MS68 this 50D did. Mitch, Craig, all three of us also had the opportunity to purchase the other white PCGS
MS68FB dime before it was in the new PC holder. I define "Luck" as having the ability to recognize an opportunity
that has been put in front of us that otherwise is invisable to others.

My sets are under the name White Fang, and if anyone is interested, take a look at them and please e-mail me at:

I want to concentrate on some of my other sets. The Proof Roosevelt Sets are not for sale, period.
There are a few too many $$$ signs on that last statement.
