Silver Roosevelt dimes, a set that some would consider to be uninspired, seem to have had a very good day today at FUN in the Heritage sale. A collector and Board Member here had a number of his coins in the Signature Sale where they fetched close to pre-FB prices, appreciating in some cases close to 200% from auction prices last year. Most of the MS68's went for $2000+ and a few closer to $3000. A lovely 64P MS67FB sold for over $2000 after having sold some 6-8 months ago on Teletrade for $775. Perhaps this set is seeing some renewed interest! As a long-time Rosy set collector, I say its about time!

    1964P67FB for 2000! Wow! I would have never guessed that one? Was it close to a 68?

    I viewed this coin and watched the auction. CRAZY!!! Nice coin, but not worth what was paid. However, the fellow board members picked up two very nice Roosies. After seeing them I can say they were worth the price.

    We sure did miss not having Craig there however.image

    2K for a 64P! Isn't that like paying big bucks for a 45P Merc (another dirt common coin) because it has bands? imageimage

    Besides that coin (64P67FB) list for 500. I would NEVER pay 4X list for anything but a super rare and hard to find coin!

    Any news on Roosie Proofs from the auction?

    The 64 MS67FB was not an upgrade candidate. The price was not cheap compaired
    to other known sales. But, at $2000 it was still very cheap compaired to other
    denominations with similar pops.
