I just registered my silver Roosies. I'm on that "second page" with many board members - Hepkat Kitty, Marty- to name a few. The game is just as fun from these seats - and if I can make one of those "super low pop" FB coins, maybe I can trade you guys for EVERY coin I need 
Things should really "heat up" in Roosies later this year - YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT

Congrats on jumping in with both feet with your new set. Into an absolute hot bed of stiff competition (which I'm sure have the Merc guys heads turning 360) and some of the best guys assembling top notch sets. This sure is fun ! Happy hunting !

I enjoy adding a new coin to my registry every few days or finding a coin to submit.
Have fun.

Aw C'mon Guys. If you want to collect FB coins you must go after the above pictured. These can be collected from the Cheap Seats also with a Lot of Fun tacked on.

PS: Very Nice Icons. Even if one is in the wrong holder.
I'd rather have this one.....

If the obverse would even come close to the reverse on a roosie, appeal wise, I would be in the Ball Game also. Ok, I know you are going to ask what the appeal is having a woman with wings on her head. Hmmm......really have no answer for you.
Is that a FB coin you have shown ? I guess I will have to see one of them in person. The bands look weak to me. Maybe the way the picture shows up here on the forum.
Nice coin though.

Is that fish a sheepshead? It certainly doesn't look edible. If ya leave it out in the sun awhile, I'm sure it would tone up nicely.
BTW, Merc's are nice but Roosies rule!
Sheepshead fish.....what is that ? None in the Northwest that I know of.
The Fish is a 4 and 1/2 pound Small Mouth Bass caught yesterday on the Columbia River about 125 miles east of Portland. A life long friend and myself have fished the river for years. 50 + Small Mouth were caught yesterday. A couple of the others were in the 3 pound range. For sure a good day on the river bank. We just do our part to conserve the Salmon run on the Columbia which received so much attention in the National media a couple of years ago. These Small Mouth are voracious feeders on the Salmon Smolts trying to reach the ocean. The limit is 5 fish so a whole bunch of catch and release was done. This one is about as Big as they get around here. I'm still holding out for the 6 pounder though.
Also this is a Hobby that has Full Approval from the wife.....she really likes Pan Fried Smallmouth. Hopefully one day she will warm up a little about the Coin collecting also.

Fairlaneman needs to see some great toned roosies -- not "your stuff"!!!!!
Have another beer, it is Labor Day!!!!!!

Rainbowroosie, Show us your stuff???
Next year at Long Beach we display side-by-side at SIMCO's table; let's call it the "Great Roosie Challenge."
Now all we need is a judge....How about Mr. D, Craig, and a guest roosie "critic." Any suggestions for our third judge?? I'm open-minded, my only criteria is that he/she cannot have sold you the coins in your set!!!
Loser buys all the beers!!!
Maybe we can get other set owners to show off their stuff in similar "challenges?"

But I'm with Ken. I say Portland next Spring and I think we need 5 judges. Since you picked the first 2 (Greattoning & Colorfulcoins).
I'll pick the next 2. My 2 picks are Fairlaneman & Wondercoin. We will have to come to a consensus on the 5th judge.
Now a couple Rules. I assume since your set consist of NGC & PCGS coins we will be allowed to mix to create our best set?.
How does that sound.
Onlyroosies
Oh, and here's a coin where the reverse bands are full and also pretty clear for a photograph - and a toned coin!
If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
BUT, I do hope to register a set in the not too distant future which may, or may not, knock out OnlyRoosies from his #1 perch (are you listening "Hulk Hogan Nick"?) . At the time of Portland, I can assure you, the Roosie race will be very heated up and perhaps we may need an exhibition of all (3) sets as I will likely be supporting the newly (and yet un)registered collection as the greatest Roosie collection of all time
Wondercoin
them because they were not full bands and I have committed myself and my set to full band pieces. So if this is a color only show
I say colorfulcoins needs to participate. If this is an all around greatest set competition then I say let the games begin.
I believe Mitch has just offered another challenge. I always knew there was another great Roosie set out there and Mitch just
confirmed that. I say bring it on big boy!!. The set doesn't have to be registered to be entered. It just needs to be a world class
set. I don't believe rainbowroosie's set is registered either. A showdown,,, I'm in.
I hope I'm not biting off more then I can chew here as Mitch has been registering some word class sets recently for his client(s).
I've seen several top notch collections fall from there #1 spot recently and if I read Mitch's post right, My #1 spot is next on the
chopping block.
I still say I'm up for the challenge......

You can make it easy on yourself and invite us all over your place for a cook out. I'm even agreeable to having your neighbors be the judges
Wondercoin
"uh oh" Maybe I shouldn't have challenged "Hulk Hogan Nick" publicly.
Onlyroosies
Maybe another person besides myself would work better as a judge. I'm really more of a Looker than a judge. Picking one of these Great Sets over another one would be Extremely Difficult for myself. Plus I just hate to pit one set against another as I know the owners have put much hard work and effort into thier set.
Maybe find one un-bias judge that really knows the series.
Ken
Ken
Ken are you saying your bias.... I would love to have Regestry coin as a judge. Bill Walser has the #3 set registerted I would say
that qualifies his as a judge too.
I'm open to anywhere anyone want to go to display the sets.
Nick
Barring the US being at war in the spring, I'm up for intense, ego gratifying competition.....Clearly, it must be open to everyone, and open to coins in any holders -- as we will be comparing COINS NOT PLASTIC!!!!!..... I know what you have, what Craig has, and what I have....But, I'd really like to see what others have????.....So, Wondercoin, let's bring out the best!!!!!!........As a side show, I suggest we try to identify "the single finest" individual 46P (not that smudged up blue NGC MS 69 coin), 49P, 50D, etc....thus, beyond an overall winner, there will be opportunities for many people to "win" during this competition...Hell, I'll even bring my rainbow proof set of roosies just to show it off!!! Roosies Rule!!!!!!!
If he is willing, I'll nominate Larry Shepard to be the fifth judge.
rainbowroosie April 1, 2003
Based upon that, here is my short list of qualified judges:
1. David Schweitz (world class 20th century grader)
2. Miles Standish (world class grader at PCGS)
3. Rick Montgomery or Mark Saltzberg (world class graders at NGC).
If you add anyone to this list that has graded or slabbed as many or more incredible MS Roosies than these guys, I will likley have little objection considering them. But, what do you think of - Dave, Rick and Miles as the (3) judges - could it get any better than that?
Wondercoin
What was suggested was one Judge that does not own one of the sets but is a well versed person within the series. Heck it was suggested that a White Set would not stand a chance. If myself, who knows little about the series, was a judge probably a little bias would be shown toward a colored set seems how I like color. Thats not right when it comes down to picking the Greatest Roosie Set.
This showdown could be very interesting and frankly the only one I have been interested in. Would have loved to see the sets in other show downs but this one for sure has more appeal for a fellow dime collector.
Ken
Seems like we are getting into appropriate details...Balancing PCGS and NGC biases is good....Also, Dave Schweitz clearly knows roosies -- but he better choose my 54D given what he charged me for it!!!!

Craig: I don't know - but, it would be a nice reunion for Miles and Rick and Dave usually has little to do at a major coin show
