Dan50 sold (I'm assuming that this is an undergrade) a 1969 PCGS MS66 Roosevelt Dime for $235.38 on eBay!
I find this fascinating that this coin would sell for this amount. I bid $30 and was considering bidding more. What would make this coin sell for this amount? I understand that 69, 70, 71, 72 Philly issues are rediculously difficult in higher grades, but this is an MS66 W/O FB's?
Congrats Dan50!!!
Later, Paul.

Whatever it is the '69 suffers from a host of problems in the mint sets from planchet scratches,
to poor and misaligned strikes to excessive marking. Finding rolls of these to check is problem-
atical and I don't recall ever seeing many nice coins back in 1969. This is one of those that's even
going to be tough in the lower grades.
Whats worth more, the 1969P MS66 or this coin?.... To eBay it goes.....
We'll see. Its now on eBay. If there is interest in the coin it should bring well over $300, Pop 3/3

I may well be wrong about the value. In my experience the D is much easier.
I'm sure I'm right that this is a spectacular example though.
Final: $230.36
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>I was expecting quite a bit more. I'm a little disappointed at the finale bid.... >>
I was expecting to see $350 for this coin! Sorry Nick.
As luck has it, I was on Teletrade the night one of these went off as a MS66FS. It was mis-labeled and I had it reholdered.
Dan50, you are exactly right with your comments above, but I have said all along that with no doubt, the 1970 is the absolute key to this series!

<< <i>There should be a warning on rolls of 1970 dimes. "WARNING LOOKING AT MORE THAN ONE ROLL OF 1970 DIMES WHTHIN A 24 HOUR PERIOD CAN HAZARDOUS TO YOU HEALTH". But when you do run up on a nice roll, ones with good strikes and nice clean fields, the hair on the back of your neck stands up and the world seems to be moving in slow motion as you look at them. You start to mumble, "oh mr. full band is this where you've been hiding all these years"
Jeeze. Where do you guys find rolls like these to check? I so rarely see any
BU clad rolls and 1970 is one of the toughest. I guess maybe I could just send
off a check when I see one advertised and latch onto a lot more but as you said,
looking at these can be hazardous to your health.
Do you usually spend the rejects?
I must not get out much!

Some of the rolls that have a lot of nice coins get saved. But with rolls like the 1970's, anything that will grade 65 or above I will save. You never know when someone will need one in a raw set. Bad rolls go into a large coin bank. When full these are rolled, and my wife takes them to the bank where she works adn deposits them. Then that money, between $500. to $600. goes to buy more rolls of coins or mint sets. I just dumped a brinks shrink wrapped roll of 91-D's in it last night, after no full bands were found. Cost of roll with shipping and Ins. $13.99, value of the roll now, $5.00.

Yeah. This sounds about par for the course. Even though many of these rolls are nearly impossible
to locate, it doesn't seem to make any sense at all to save the bad ones. Evey year the dollar you lose
the use of the money and these coins have never gotten any attention.
I did set aside one roll of the crappiest '66 quarters you ever saw just so I could show collectors some
day what we're up against. A buddy gave me about half a bag of rolled '66 25c for face value and they
had all come from the same bag. Every die pair was just horrid. The dies were worn almost flat and
looked like they had barely touched the planchets even when they were new. Most of the coins were
then banged up. How are you going to find gems when you're up against this kind of thing?
One has to wonder whether collectors will ever want high grade examples of the truly ugly. I doubt it.
Please try indenting, paragraphs, double spacing , .........PLEEEZE !!

Cladking- I hope you remembered to check for DDR on the 1966 quarters!
and they're cold.

Somehow I missed the existence of this coin until pretty late. I got these quarters back in the late '70's/ early '80's.

SUPERCARCOINS I triple space between words now, and have four spaces between sentences. Makes no difference, it comes out the same way every time. I know it's not the keyboard, that works great everywhere but on the forums. I wonder if there is a setting for this problem on the forums that I failed to find. I welcome anyones help in solving this problem.

Formatting here is really tough because the program ignores more than one space and
collapses them. If you want to separate something you have no choice but to use dots
or something for a space saver. ..........................................It also ignores these spaces
at the beginning of a line so indentation for paragraphs is impossible.
The best bet is to just hit your enter to skip a line for paragraphs, use dots for formatting,
and use enter for carriage return if you are so inclined.
Dan, I bet you didn't know SCCoins once broke his hand punching my head (true story!)
and they're cold.
