    51S is a very cool coin......better than picture shows - I made that coin and before i did, it was in a MS67 holder and in the rainbowroosie collection.

    Got outbid on everything I bid on. Very exasperating. Did not win one dime.

    QBert,
    Do not feel bad. I bid only $425.00 on the 1964-D FB dime for my mint set and was blown away by the hammer prices (not including the 15% BP) of the coins I was watching. I thought maybe with Christmas coming on that I might get a deal. What I received was a reality check image

    I don't think the prices realized is nuts at all. I was very impressed with the results
    based on previous sales. Savvy collectors are realizing that the Roosevelt FB series
    is under valued compared to other denominations. The 1955 MS67FB brought
    a whopping $2600. Much higher then the previous one sold for. This is a pop 4
    coin, Now relate that price to any other denomination around the same year
    that has the same pop. Every other denomination would sell for multiples of
    that price. I would like to see an MS67FB 57P, 58P, 63P or 63D come up for
    auction. It would not surprise me to see any one of those dates realize a price
    of $4K - $5K. As time goes on I think we will continue to see green in the PCGS
    price guide for this series.

    I agree Nick. This series is very undervalued compared to all the other series of the same period. A pop 4 pop top coin in from the middle 50's in the other series I collect, Lincolns, would probably be considered a bargain at $10K, yet this Roosie brings about 25% of that and is thought to be moon money? Somewhere down the road, and I think sooner rather than later, we'll all realize what a bargain it was!

    I won one!!!!!! Granted, the 67's are a little beyond me, but I got the 1958 MS66FB!!! I'm down to 5 toughies still needed. Maybe next year. image

    That 55P 67FB looked like a nice one. I think whoever won it got a nice coin.

    Thanks, QBert. I'm the proud papa of that one now. Anxious to get it in hand and put it in the Registry.

    Nick, yep, I had to go to the extra piggy bank for this one.

    Looks like I did win some after all. Thought I got outbid on everything.

    Does DLRC do somekind of automatic house bid?

    This thread got me too go and break out my Roosie collection in its Whitman book. About 25 years ago I actively pursued the set. Coins are all 'BU'. Full Bands was known back then but (for me at least) was not a requirement. Some of the coins have toned.


    The Roosie dime set is (or always has been) undervalued IMO when compared to other sets.

    It always had the current series stigma and the Mercury dime to contend with.

    I always liked them myself. You guys have some nice coins in your Reg sets.

    Good for you.

    I too have a set in an old whitman, collected back in the 70's. The reason some of you think its undervalued is demand. Go to any local show and ask the dealers how many rosies they sell and carry in inventory.

    When I go to coin shows, its usually gold, gold and more gold, along with tons and tons of Morgan and Peace Dollars. Oh and when the have some dimes, they are usually Mercs. Oh and when they finally get to letting me know about Roosies, they usually have overpriced common MS65FB material and then the stragler MS66FB/MS67FB are 2-3x's more then what I'm willing to pay.
