FT roosevelts - which ones are proving tough?

nwcs

OK, now that it's been a while and I don't have access to PCGS pops anymore, what FTs are looking tougher to get in roosevelts?

MadMarty

The 55-S, 57 and 58 seem to be the toughies!

Thanks! I'll have to keep my eyes open for them.

Colorfulcoins

Add 54S to that list. Actually, the 54S, 57P, 58P, and 63P are all pop-0 coins in MS67FB. The 55S is a pop-1.

The "best" of the tougher dates include 1949-P, 1949-S, 1953-S, 1956-P, 1961P, and 1963D.

What is proving tough is finding someone who collects them in FT.

I don't have access to the pop reports, but understand some
of the clads are still "0"-pop or at least were a few weeks ago.

It seems all of the hype over FT roosies is blowing by the average collector...I CANNOT understand why anyone collects them. FT means money in the bank for grading services, NOTHING more.

Yeah, my 1965 in MS65FT was only the second 1965 dime with FT designation the last time I looked at NGC's pops. I'd think they would be harder to find since the clad is a harder metal.

I'm not big into FT, but I'd want the designation on the high end ones if I was going to sell. Buyers like having designations apparently.
