Actually, it went away probably 2 months ago.........and I was surprised that no one noticed (or just didn't mention). Having said that, I don't know what happened myself................
Craig If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
Craig, I think Fred is referring to his clad set, Which was removed with in the last couple days. Individual coins are now for sale. PM me for his price list.
Man I sure hate moving up that way. I was looking for the day he made that set complete in all MS67FB. See how sure I am that someday those tough band years will showup?
After talking to Dwight my interpretation for him selling both his silver and clad Roosie sets was that he just couldn't find any nice MS67FB dimes to complete his sets. I think he was very discouraged with PCGS and not being able to make or locate any more blast white MS67FB Roosies. He was always doing Lincolns along with the Roosies and IMHO felt the Lincoln set was a more doable set and easier to locate upgrades. Nobody has yet built a complete MS67FB or better silver Roosie set let alone a clad set in 67FB or better. Unless your willing to commit to the series and give it several years or more I would not recommend starting a set.
Dwight was very picky and built a fabulous Roosevelt dime collection and was able to sell his silver set intact.

'bow, I, for one, hope you live a long and healthy life!
btw- I just sent off to PCGS today a 1963-p that is mind-blowing red-orange and green. ..the colors are like a freaking Christmas ornament--both sides too! I saw it glowing in a dealers case from about 75 feet away! It is unquestionably one of the top toned post 1958 roosies of all time!... I can't express how cool this coin looks or how excited I am about it. I feel it is a surefire 67* at NGC, but I am going to try to get a PCGS holder first. I think it has 60/40 shot at getting a 7 at PCGS.
I'm not even gonna try to make pix of it... I know I could never do it justice... so don't even ask. But I will make sure you get to see it in person! It is your kind of coin... just make sure your wearing depends when you open the mailer cos' this sucker will loose your bowels and make your heart thump!!GLOWING!!!

As a Lincoln Collector I've bought/sold with Dwight and his Lincoln are very nice too!
<< <i>PCGS ain't making 67s like they used to; the standard has changed" >>
I think that is true with all coins or at least all moderns. It's a shame. What is this going to do... make the coins in existing ms67 holders worth more because pops are staying lower, or make them worth less for now they'll seem overgraded, and ms66 coins about as nice can be found for a lot less?

The Roosie registry should read " WHO'S NEXT!"
Good luck with your next adventure northclads!
Later, Paul.

PCGS ain't making 67s like they used to; the standard has changed.

I have come to that conclusion too. Not only has the grading tightened up
but so has getting the FB designation.
Good for those who have them, bad for those who need them.
