Congrats to RooseyFan for moving up to a tie for the current #2 spot! I was starting to wonder if there were any Roosie upgrades left out there! Oh where oh where have all the 68's gone...

RooseyFan

Thanks for the complement Flyingcougar. It has been fun putting together my second set of dimes. Hopefully, I mwill be able to find the last three dates I need to complete my set in 67 and above shortly.

Great set, not easy to find 67's. Keep up the
good work. Will not be easy to catch you.

Congrats Butch! I expect you to be passing me up in no time at all!

RooseyFan

Thanks Craig,

But according to my calcs, as soon as I get the other three dates in 67, my average grade will be 67.12 so it looks like we will be tied for a while unless another 68 comes along.

Hey Butchie !!
Do you still have that 51-S dime in PCGS MS-68 that i sold on Teletrade a few years back for a paltry 180$ ?? You know, the one Mitch bought at T.T first -but returned it because he thought it was overgraded ??

RooseyFan

Supercarcoins,

Actually the 51-S I have in my current set is from Nick's old set. I did at one time have a PCGS MS68 51-S that I bought from Mitch that was a coin in Steve Heller's set but that coin with the rest of my nicer coins from my first set are now part of the JHF #1 of all time set. At least they are in good company with Nick's old coins.

Keith,

Congrats on landing the PCGS 68 50-S in the LB Signature Sale. It looks like a really pretty coin.

Keep the 68's coming.

Butch

ps. Does anyone out there have a nice 52-D in 67??? Please

Thanks Butch, I'm just glad you already had one!!! I'm sure that it saved me a dollar or two. It has been almost 4 months since I've picked any coin up and I was almost to the point of going through coin DT's. For some reason Feb. has been a great month and I've picked up some nice type coins and now the 50-s. Patience pays off.

Thanks again and good luck on upgrading your great set (this original post is so old, the #2 tie thing is ancient history).

I made mistakes 5 years ago and I am making mistakes even today (probably just as many!!) I was once told if you are not making a ton of mistakes, you are simply not buying enough coins

Anyway, that 1950(s) Roosie in the sale was a magnificent coin and just missed FB as well - and I mean just missed. It will be a centerpiece to any collection. Congratulations!!

I had to settle with the lot of (20) NGC 1949(s) Roosies in MS67 at a touch over $1000 with the juice. One or two had neat toning and a few others were candidates for FB. Heck, they were costing me not much more than roll bid for raw gem 49(s) Roosies! I couldn't resist!
