Which dimes will be the toughest to find in "full band"

ricona

Hello,

I am somewhat new to the message board and hope that no offense will be taken to my "jumping in" with a question. I have asked a few of the experts on the board this question and thought I would ask the rest of the board the same thing. With PCGS designating Roosevelt dimes as being "full band", I wonder in the next few years, what dimes will be the hardest and easiest to find with full bands? In your opinion, what will be the most expensive dimes to buy in MS 67 FB slabs? Will there be some dates that are so tough to find in FB, that there will be good values in MS 66 FB slabs? I do have an interest in this because I am currently the proud owner of the #29th rated silver Roosevelt set. I named it Regan's Roosevelts after my daughter, the only thing in this world prettier than a nicely toned Roosie. I really enjoy this board and appreciate the amount of numismatic knowledge I have learned since I found it.

Thanks,

Rick

Since the designation is so new it will be quite a while before we know for sure what the toughest dates are. Since FBs are being handed out we probably can guess what the easy dates are. There were a few threads already mentioning recent experience with getting these coins designated. I can't add anything to them, please search for them if you haven't found them yet.

BTW welcome to the forums!

I believe the middle dates will be the hardiest, most of those coins will probably come from mint sets, and since many of these sets where already broken for the Franklin and Kennedy halves and the Ike dollars, I would have to go with them. I guess what I'm saying is the late 50"s, late 60's and the early seventies. This is just my opinion but I also collect Rooseys and these are the most difficult right now.

The 45P is really rough.........Opps... saw FB and thought this was a Merc thread.....Sorry.

Welcome to the Boards though.

Welcome aboard Ricona. I am sure that some of the Rosey experts here knew the answer to this question
well in advance of any of the top grading companies choosing to designate FB on Rosey slabs. You'll probably
get some good answers. Again, welcome. mdwoods

Hi Rick, based on the PCGS pop reports - for silver coins - I'd guess the 57P, 58P, and 55S would be GREAT coins to have today in MS66FB.......course, reality may be different in another 6 months or a year but based on today, those would be pretty good coins to have. There are no doubt others that could be good also - 49P, 49S, 55P, and 56P come to mind........52P, 53P, 54P aren't bad either.. just my opinion and we'll all learn together which dates are the keys.

I just got my grades back on my 4 free submissions. I sent in 4 1960-D's that I picked from a roll I bought from a board member. I thought all would have made FB, but 2 out of 4 isn't bad. I guess the pops on these don't matter at this point until more are resubmitted for the designation?

Hi Rick--glad to see you on board! Seems as if all us Roosie guys are here now!
My guess is the 55-s will be one of the biggies, if not THE key for the silver set.
For clads, it's anybody guess, but I KNOW some of the clads will be very very tough.
