Selling ALL of my Proof Roosevelt Dimes...

I'm tired of the hype trying to decide whether to have a sub par everyday common grade of PR69DCAM or go the route and have all of the expensive PR70DCAM Dimes that actually look the same as the 9's. I was on TT one night and some of the 70's I was looking over were crap! Most had haze and spotting and looked like garbage. I have sent some in to get grades that were better then the 70's IMHO and received 68. I just would rather concentrate on my MS collection of Dimes.

If and when I decide to get back into the Proof side of Dimes, virtually ALL of my dimes, with the exception of my 1966 MS69 S.M.S. are replaceable.

If you are interested in anything I have, you can click the "My eBay" link below on my sig line. I have a run of Roosies from 1955-1960 and 1962-2005 Clad. They all go off on Sunday night 10/15/06.

Later, Paul.

    Hello Paul,
    I couldn't agree more with what you say. My jumping in point was clad proof dimes and when I started upgrading 69's I felt it was a waste. I have found the MS to be much more enjoyable than the proof. I haven't spent a dime on the clad proof in a year or more. I would like to get a upgrade to 69DC on the 1969 and 1971. I might not agree on the silver proof coins as there is truly a difference between the best coins and the common ones.

    I'll always love the Roosey's best but I think my money is going to Merc's and Barber's.

    Thanks Robert

    Concentrate on those circ coins. That's the way to go!

    You have a number of coins I would like to bid on but you do not accept non US bids.

    I don't think I even know how to accept non-US bids. Where are you bidding from? I will ship anywhere, I just choose not to state that in my listings.

    Maybe we should note in our future auctions, that we sell to non US bidders who ARE forum members.
    I started rejecting non U.S. sales after reading about some of the nightmares others had with shipping to places outside the U.S. and Canada.

    The problem with my pictures is that I have a brand new HP 3-1 scanner, printer, copier and have no idea how to get a decent non-blurry picture. I've tinkered with it until i want to heave it out the window.

    P.S. Digital Camera will be in my hands soon!

    Paul,

    I know what you mean about trying to get good scans or pics of coins. I can't get a good scan on my Lexmark 6200 and I can't get a good pic on my digitial camera and it takes real good pictures of anything else.

    I have a note on my desk about a forum member "Smitty" who uses a Microtek Scanmaker 5600, and his scans were beautiful.



    Also, I want to thank Waldo here on the boards for the 1969 he is sending me FREE. It's a 63, but as he says and I agree, it fills the hole! image

    Thanks!!! Again Waldo!!!!!imageimageimage
  • StoogeStooge Posts: 4,668 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Shoot...a 1969 MS63 is alot better then what I have, and alot better then what I have ever found. Not 1x have I found a 69 to send in!

    Paul something tells me we WILL be seeing some real fine improvements involving your clads. I for one can hardly wait to see to what great things happen with within the set over the next couple months. image

    edited to add:
    I also am proud to be a part of the improvement thats coming.
    I sometimes think it feels better helping another, than adding to my own set.

    Yes Dan, I hope to be making my move real soon, but my best guess is that even with all 67's to fill the holes, I would be sitting in 3-4 place. I certainly can live with that, but that will not happen. I am missing some real keys in 7 then ie: 1969, 1971, 1972, 1980-P, 1980-D and so on. the first 3 I haven't seen in a MS67 in ages. Most I assume are in strong hands.

    Does anyone here remember me talk about the TT lot with the 1971 and (2) 1972 MS66FB's, with 4 other FB's I let get away for just >$200? I'll have to do a search and see if I can bring that old thread up. I'm still kicking myself for that one. Man If I had those 2 coins, my set would be "Oh too sweet!"

    I will never be able to compete with Dr. Brown and J.H.F., but I will make them wish that there was never a 3rd place!

    I can't thankyou enough for bidding. I'm glad its going to a good Home. I initially bought the coin from MNMCOIN and he had it for a BIN at $500. It didn't sell and I offered him $300 and the rest is history!

    Thats funny because I saw that BIN price too and offered him $350 for it and he said he just sold the coin! image I guess I got the coin anyway lol.

    Ah heck, while I am at it I have 1965 SMS MS68 for sale too for $49.95 and free shipping to anyone who bid on Stooge's auctions tonight!

    Parke,

    I don't want to hear any complaints. You outbid me on the 1960 Pr69Dcam that I needed to replace a coin that turned in it's holder. I thought I bid enough to not have to watch the auction. Darn.image
