Only 1 more silver Rosy w/o a MS67FB.....the 57P is made!

I just checked the pop report and a 57P in MS67FB has been made - so the 57P and 58P are no longer on the "unattainable" list. That leaves the 63P as the only silver Rosy where a MS67FB doesn't exist.
For those that have been around the silver Rosy's for awhile, this is like deja vu. Prior to the FB designation and probably 7 years or so ago, the big push in Rosy sets was to build a MS67 set - and the toughest coin to find was........yep, you guessed it, the 1963P (PCGS slabbed, that is). It was the last coin in the series for which a MS67 was made (and its still one of the few coins in the series with a total pop of 30 MS67 pieces).
So lightening does strike twice - once again, the 63P is the remaining coin for the Rosy crowd to make so that someone will get to the magical 100% complete at the MS67FB grade. Any guesses how long it will take??????????

Not to change the subject, but there are still something like 17-18 Clads that havn't been made in MS67FB of higher. A very difficult set to say the least. When's the 1946-date set coming?
Good reporting by the way!
Later, Paul.

Don't you have one hidden away, just waiting for this august moment????? Seriously, I've seen many 63Ps in 67. None was even close to FB. If anyone can make one, my money is on ------ drumroll ------- Onlyroosies!!!!!!!

PS: This is the only 63P MS67 that I've seen that's even close - and I've owned/seen about 1/3 of the 30 MS67's.......as Paul said above, its going to be awhile!

think the 63D is going to edge out the 63P as tougher in 67FB several years down the
road. The 58P was made last month I believe, Has anyone stepped up to take credit for
the 58P yet. I never saw the 58P show up in any registry set. Maybe the 57P and 58P
reside together. I guess only time will tell which will be rarer.
By the way. As I was confirming colorfulcoins post by checking the pops I noticed that
a 1949P was also made in MS68FB. A new pop 1 coin. Someone is having some fun
making Roosies. Anyone want to take credit for that one?.....

I beat out Brian O'Neil in a snipe/countersnipe war in the last few seconds for that PF70 piece. He is trying to do a highest set using only PF pieces without using bonus points from CAM and DCAM designations. It's promised to him if I ever get a 69DCAM to fill that space. The pieces from the 50s are hard to get high grade without spending a ton, so I'm looking for coins with crossover potential in third tier holders or promising looking raw coins.
If anyone has anything that I don't have yet, and you don't want a lot of money for it, let me know. I could even look around locally and at shows or try to snipe something for you on ebay and we could do a trade if there's anything you need.

I think Nick is right, partly just a hunch, and partly due to the fact that there are more 63-p's in FB that grade less than 67, than there are 63-D's.
I wonder if these 1957 & 1958 could be in the hands of Mr. Biddle???

I think not. Danny has 3 sets on the registry and all 3 still show 0% FB. If he had sent
in any dimes from his sets the ones that received FB would show up in his sets. I think
its either someone who had a hoard of rolls and found a few nice ones to send in or
someone who found an undesignated MS67 that had bands and got it designated.
Over the last month or so several nice better date and high grade Roosies have been
made. The 49P pop added a 67FB and a 68FB. The 49S pop added 2 67FB's and 2 68's
the 51D pop added a 68FB. The 57P & 58P both now have a pop 1 67FB. The 61P went
from pop 2 to pop 3, and the 64P & D both added 2 in 67FB. Someone is working the
better date Roosies and I'm sure there having fun at it. As much as I wish it was me
who made all these coins, its not.

Bill that would be great if we knew where the PCGS coin was....

In regards to the 63-D 67FB, I had no more idea than you at the time....I just needed a 63-d in 67 at the time.
It is one of the coins I'm most proud of in my set. I started collecting roosies several years ago, because they were relatively cheap compared to most of the other series in high grade. I had no idea that they would come with the FB designation as soon as they did.
As to why you sold them... because you wanted to spread the Roosie fever-of which you have done a nice job!

I think the toned 63-D is the one from my first set I sold you
Oh well the hunt goes on.

The lock at the top of this page will blink red when you have a message and it will tell you how many messages are there. Just click on it.
Test PM sent.
And the white one that Northland got was from Mike Rakosky's set - you can still see his set on the Registry and you'll see it shows a FB coin.
And the pretty 63P MS67 I have (hopefully a FB someday) is one I got from board member bushmaster.
Just one big Rosy family.

I've grown to believe that ROOSIE'S are SEXY. Now, you guy's need to share some of those beauties my way. I still have holes to fill in my Registry Set. Currently, Number 17!!! Yep, it's true...unless your the lead dog the view is always the same.
I have a 63-P in 67 that was the second coin graded 67 by PCGS (I got it from Mitch) back in the day. It is definetly FB but first time through PCGS was killer on giving any of my coins FB so I will try again later.
