Help from you Roossie Folks

What is a 1959-P Roosevelt worth in 67FB?

67?

66FB?

All white coins, one with a shot at 68 (and I've made 2 68's at PCGS years ago when there were only 4-5 in the series).

I also owned the one 59-P that is graded MS68. Several of these are nicer, but I think the 59 was a mistake (not a proof mistake as some think, but an overgrading error)

Thanks!

A67fb would be worth a few bucks, anything less not worth much
b/c there are over 100 66fb ones, a 68fb would be a major score

James, a MS67FB would be a $500+ coin I might say. I've made 2 so far - both toned. PCGS is brutal on white coins right now. I'm fascinated by the 59P MS68..........over the last several years, its been rumored to be a PR68 mislabeled - its cool to have someone actually verify it exists. Was the coin white? Do you know what happened to it or where it is? Us Rosy guys have inquiring minds and like to know about "fabled" coins.....<grin>.

As far as a MS68FB....it would be a pop-1 and would command a significant premium over a MS67FB coin......I'd love to see one made!

Craig,

The 59-P was purchased 10-12 years ago from teletrade for about $400 ( a then unheard of sum). The coin was a no doubt MS coin. It was toned a very bright yellow if I recall it correctly. It had great luster, but had more marks than I would like for a 68. I have no idea about the bands on the coin.

The other coins that I made were a 64-D in 68 around that time period and a 51 or 52-S in 68. All colored coins with outstanding color!

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the price quotes. I'll let you know when the coins come back!
