Hi Paul, and Dan! I see some of us are still collecting Roosey. Makes me wonder? I still have dimes but they are much older now. I went from Roosey to Busties guess I'm growing old. Fred
It's a great little set of 124 varieties, but almost impossible to finish. I have been working on it for about 5 years now. I thought if I was going to spend a few $ on coins then older was a better fit for me. That's a great set of Roosies you have Dan, and Nick is a great mentor when it comes to collecting them. Fred
Robert, The 51P you speak of has changed hands a couple times since you've owned it and now resides in an NGC holder as the highest graded FB/FT Roosevelt Dime. MS68+*FT and sits in the #1 NGC silver Roosevelt registry set.
Hi Paul, A package coming my way. I love getting packages in the mail, especially from a Roosie collector. Can't wait to see it.
<< <i>OK Paul, Come on now. It's not coming to me, and yet I can't stand the suspense!
A least a hint?
Dan >>
I can only say that it is gonna put a smile on Nick's face! There is a good story behind what I sent him and when he posts a pic of it I will tell the story.
Nick - Were a number of the Roosies in the Heritage sale the former JHF dimes (ex: me, you, Steve, Craig, etc)? Including the 1954-P? The 47-P was obviously an "old friend".

Of course, many of the JHF dimes sold for (beyond) record prices back in 2009, so it is not too surprising that the % increases over the past couple years on some of those dimes are not staggering.

I think it's safe to say the best Roosies are slowly but surely disappearing! Bill I think of you every time I see "rainbow" beside a coin on Teletrade that looks like dirt since you made the statement that when Teletrade used to tag their coins as rainbow you could bet that's exactly what they were. Thanks for buying all the good stuff before I came along ;-)
It would be nice to finally own some nice rainbow roosies Do you still own the coin in your avatar? I just looked at your set and didn't see it. When are you going to finish crossing and climb the ladder a little more?

Hi Fred, Nice to hear from you

Dan
Yeah, I'm completely hooked on 'em. And Nick is all to blame!
Busties, so is that where I'm headed?

Looks that way Bill. I've been offered exactly "0"
Everyone says "hello" followed by "NO SALE." Maybe demand exceeds supply for the really good stuff??

Hi Dan,
Good to here from you. Hope all is well.
Bill, Not even one coin has been offered to me.
I'll offer you my entire set for $1M --- I need to fill the gas tank in my car.........

But I enjoyed it immensely while I had it.
I will be sending you a package today 4/23/11. Let me know when you get it please.
Paul.
Later, Paul.
That package warning sounds very ominous. Be careful when you open it Nick

4 dimes in the auction were from the 2009 JHF auction. 47P, 50P, 50S and 54P.
Wondercoin
Here is how it breaks down.
1947 MS67FB JHF $2645 Same coin today MS67+FB $3220
1950 MS67FB JHF $862 Same coin today MS67+FB $1610
1950S MS67FB JHF $1380 Same coin today MS67+FB $1265
1954 MS67FB JHF $2875 Same coin today MS67+FB $3737
For 2 1/2 years and an upgrade I would say not to well.
Of course, many of the JHF dimes sold for (beyond) record prices back in 2009, so it is not too surprising that the % increases over the past couple years on some of those dimes are not staggering.

If you don't die unexpectedly in a bar fight, I'm sure you'll outlive me and buy from my daughter!

I've still got a half dozen I think will upgrade; probably at FUN since I don't like to mail my good stuff
