With the addition of 1991-P MS66 Roosevelt...

Stooge

Mr. Nick Cascio is now the #1 numero-uno guy at the top of the 1965-Date Roosevelt circulation strike list!!! Second kudos go to another absolutely outstanding set in "Ricks set".

It is a great feat to finish a set with as many coins that a modern Roosevelt set holds, but to do it with such speed as these 2 guys is breath taking. Nick has added a GEM of a coin almost daily it seems and Rick has been at the top for a few months at least. You will be hard pressed to find a set that matches these 2 sets!!

My hats off to Nick #1 and Rick #2

Later,

GREAT JOB AGAIN NICK!

Nick,
why don't you sell your early roosies and concentrate on the clad coins...you'd be much happier with pristine brilliant coins!!

Nice set Nick! I have one question on the future of set weightings: Do you think they will separate grade difficluty weightings and FB difficulty weightings? Eg. smome coins are easy in 7 but hard in FB and vice versa - if you catch my logic. There is a huge difference and if that's what drives the sales and the registry, they ought to look at this sooner rather than later in my opinion.

Well I go away for a week and look who's in the top spot Congrads Nick, and Rick I can only hope!!!!!!

Thanks eveyone for the kind words. I actually started this set about 18 months ago. At that time there was
no way to reach the number 1 spot. The top 3 sets had all the pop 1/0 and 2/0 coins. Its was the advent of the
FB designation that really opened the door. Some of these coins are extremely tough in full bands. I have to
also thank Rick for all his help along the way. Out of the blue the other day I received a package in the mail.
In it was the last coin I needed to complete my set. The package came from Rick with a congratulation letter.
He made the coin on an express submission just to fill my last hole in. Rick is truly one of the good guys at
its an honor to call him my friend. Thanks Rick

Mitch, I'm ready and willing, Lets get that Roosie showdown going. June Long Beach!! Right.

Mark, I don't know what PCGS will do with the weightings or the FB bonus points. I do agree that the FB points
need to be adjusted to reflect the difficult dates in FB, My guess is that PCGS will do that sometime in the
next couple years. I don't think they will adjust the weightings though. Your definitely the man in the know
when it comes to tough FB date Roosies. There's no one better then you.

Lots of work left to do with Danny Biddle now comimg back as a contender and Mitch's unregistered world
class set sitting on the sidelines. Sounds like loads of fun to me.

Nick,
You and Craig and Mitch all have way toooooo much money!!!!!!...To be fair, I think you each ought to send me $20K a piece so I can still play this "escalating roosie addict game"...no need to send a cashier's check, I trust all of you!!!

RainbowRoosie: No argument out of me about the "coin addict" talk

Nick - A 6/04 exhibition of Roosies sound like a great idea here in S. CA. I'll be in touch with you. It would be great if Danny was ready by then as well, and it sounds like he will be. RainbowRoosie will also be "armed and dangerous" and I know Larry Whitlow would be delighted to showcase his mixed NGC and PCGS collection at his table. 2004 appears to be shaping up to a neat year for the Roosies!

ROOSEY GUYS:
I would consider it an honor to meet each of you personally.
I have never been to California. Las Vegas was as far west as I got.
(Ran out of money and had to head back home to KY.)
I can be there any day any month.
You guys just tell me when/where.

Danny, I think a bunch of us are going to be at the Florida FUN show. We had a good ol time
last year getting Rainbow roosie drunk.

If I remember correctly, I WALKED to my distant (and cheap) hotel, while Nick fell asleep on the front stairs of his close (and expensive) hotel.................hmmm.....

This year NO WINE! King crab is better for you!!!!!!

DANNY

I can make arrangements to be at the fun show.
If you guys are going to be there, I want to be there too.
I am excited all-ready.
