Ok own up... Who's hoarding all the 05 SF MS68FB's.
Pop shows 53 I think, and you won't find many listed in the Registry. So someone/or ones are holding me up on finishing my 4 coin set for the year. Shame shame shame....

haha I was thinking the same thing. You would think these were made of platinum for the prices they bring when you see one.
Check my ebay BIN or Make Offers!!
Dan,
PM me if you are interested

Thats why my thread had hoarding in it. The P in 69FB is pop 30 and you see them for sale everywhere you look.
The D at a grade lower has a pop of almost twice that, and you rarely see one at auction.
Why not just buy a slew of unopened mint sets...cherry pick out 4 or 5 of the best dimes...send them in for grading and sell off the rest of the sets? That's what I did for my 2005 SF lincolns last year...I went thru my 10 mints sets...picked out the two best P's and the two best D's...sent them to PCGS and got back three 69's and a 68!
Come to think of it...I may have some P's and D's laying around from the mint sets that I broke up. If I remember correctly, one of those was VERY impressive. I may have a few floating around in my drawers at home ( still in the cello of course). If their nice, I'll be happy to sent it on to you at no charge. I wouldn't know FB's if they smacked me in the forehead though. I'll snap a pic or two if their worth a damn...
Good luck!

Ellewood, reading this post made me laugh. Its like your talking to yourself as you are looking for these Roosies as you can't seem to find them. I thought that is very comical to say the least.
Anyway, I wish it were that simple to just go and buy 10, 15, or 20 mint sets and "Bam" there it is a brand new 2005-D MS68/69FB/SF Roosie. Well They are just not around. This is BY FAR the most difficult of the 2005 statin finish coins. I bet that you would have to buy well >100 Mint sets to find 1 05-D in a 68FB.

I was being a bit sarcastic when I posted above about going out and buying 10 sets etc. Funny thing is that lincolns were that easy in 8 and 9 SF. Right now I am searching rolls for business strike 2005's (lincolns) and that is a completely diff story. It VERY difficult to find anything above 6 or 7.
I know when the SF coins hit the street brccoins (Brian Childs) had a TON of them slabbed (for sale on eBay)...many diff. demominations too. Might want to PM him to see if he has any of the roosies...
<< <i>I know nothing about roosies...but are the pops low because it's tough to make in 69 because the FB's are not always there...or just because many have not been submitted for grading???? >>
It's the bands that are hard to find full. If you check the pops you will find
367/86/1 non bands. Thats 367in 68 / 86 in 69 / 1 in ms70.
ellwood you can try pictures, but unless they are large and clear, it will be hard to see if the bands go COMPLETELY across. If you could come up with one in 69FB you could get a nice return on it. Justhavingfun may not mind telling what he paid for his. He's one of the owners of the two that are now graded that high. Then again he may not want to discuss it, I don't know him so cant speak for him.
And like Paul, I have ten sets and diden't see anything special in any coin in them. Of course I am speaking only of the dimes, since thats what I'm looking for. I'll worry about the other coins at a later date.
Roosies have me in tunnel vision mode until I start another series.

Just out of curiosity, if anyone has a close up of a FB (doesn't necessarily have to be a 2005) and a close up of one that just misses FB...I'd love for you to post them. It would allow me to see the diff. between the two.
Good luck to all of you. I know what it's like to search thru rolls and rolls to find one $%&#@* coin.

A 2005-D PCGS MS66FB non-satin finish with GREAT FB photos just listed on eBay for sale with reserve no doubt. This will give you a great sense of the full bands!

The seller has a little bit of false advertising going on. His item description states:
"PCGS MS66FB 2005-D ROOSEVELT DIME - ONLY 2 NONE FINER !"
but there are 2 MS69FB and 53 MS68FB 2005-D Roosevelts graded so far. Must be using an old pop report.

This is for a NON SATIN FINISH Roosevelt in a MS66FB holder and the description is correct. I believe that even in this modest grade, this is a rare coin and will probably go north of $100.

Since I haven't been buying anything recently, I am unsure of my ability to determine a SF from a non-SF. So, do you think the coin in the eBay sale is a non-SF?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
and I think it looks like a satin finish dime from the pics, as did the teletrade
pics of the dime

WHAT A FRIGGIN MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sure looks like a SF dime to me, the roll dimes I have seen have a shiny look to them

Mark:
I have to tell you that it looks very frosty and compared to some of the satin finish dimes I have I would think that it is a satin finish coin...now from what Dan50 says and he is right that this could be the lighting and the way the coin looks in the pix. I don't know what to say, but I did bid $50 on it and probably didn't scratch the reserve, especially since it seems to be the same coin that was on TT.
I think that this is a true condition census rarity and should easily bring North of $100. The 05'-D's are IMHO the hardest to find in high grade for any 05 coin. I'm actually thinking of rolling the dice on this one. I will decide in a day or 2, unless someone else here wants it more then me. Dan50 has the 05-P MS67FB (3/0) so he may want this one.

<< <i>OH WHY OH WHY DID THE MINT HAVE TO PULL THIS SATIN FINISH BULLSH*@!!!! We were all so much better off before this whole debate started and non SF coins landed in SF holders and vice versa. It happened with lincolns, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves and sackies.
WHAT A FRIGGIN MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>
I laughed outloud on this one!

Paul I have the D mint just forgot to include it into the 20 I just submitted. I do have a 06-D FB in with this bunch I look for 66/67FB on.
The FB's I HOPE to make are 67 / 68 / 72 / 73 / 2-73-D's / 75 / 88-D / 93-D / 04-P / 06-D
Non band's are 69-D / 70 / 78-D / 79-D
The other five are 2 / cent coins / 1 nickle / 2 Kennedy's
By the way, this is the first time there have been anything other than Roosie's submitted by me.
The next batch will include 2 / Ikes / 1 SBA / and a few quarters from the 60's and 70's
I just cant seem find a 69-D Roosie in FB. I cant tell you how many rolls and mint sets I've gone through. And you probably woulden't believe me if I had kept records of them. But I can tell you I have some super nice ones without the bands. Sent one in this trip, along with another 67 that I hope won't get the SMS curse put on it.
If the 67 and 69-D don't come back ms68 I'm going to be really crushed. But I have a couple more of each that look just as nice, so I guess they will be in the next bunch.
edited to make it clearer
looks like the high bid only went to about $80
wonder if he will relist it
Tim
still looks like a SF dime to me

before the mint sets come out then there should be no question, guess it is time to go to the
bank and search some rolls

There have been plenty of '06 rolls for sale on eBay lately!

<< <i>Well, I managed to track this coin down and have it in hand...and as Dan50 suggests, it is indeed a business strike. Just as he suggested, it is just a frosty coin...I did get an '05 set and matched it up against the SF Roosie, and yes, to end all debate, its just a frosty Roosie business strike...now, if the pop can just stay LOW on this....

Would you mind filling us all in on the specifics regarding about how you were able to track this dime down and what it took to get it?

more will be sent in for grading . or if pcgs makes them needed for the registry
sets more will be graded.
Tim
as Paul said you can buy OBW rolls on ebay and search them
And we wonder why NGC and PCGS are screwing this up? It's simple. It's getting hard to tell which is which because there really can be a grey area between business strike and Satin Finish. I'll say it again...what a friggin' mess.
The U.S. Mint facilites suk! Low relief, satin finish, poor designs, and no Roosevelt bags or rolls! Doesn't really matter, cause they probably would charge $39.99 for a $5.00 P & D roll anyway!
Later, Paul.
I second that.....WHAT A FRIGGIN MESS WE HAVE!
Later, Paul.
Not much terribly wrong- it is one of the key reasons I posted a thread that now has close to 600 posts on it regarding PCGS/state quarters. It was agreed by a number of well known dealers/ collectors in this area way back when that there was very, very little difference between certain Mint Set SF Lincolns and non-mint set coins.
Wondercoin
Now a pop of 60 may be rare in some series, but Roosies are a bit slow right now, and there should be enough to go around.
So again I say.... WHO"S HOARDING ALL THE D-MINT 68FB SF COINIES. .. Don't make me take names
