Thank you Greattoning! Thanks for getting me this coin and posting the photos.
Those of you who know me well know I've lamented for 20 years plus that I could never find a GREAT rainbow 61P. Well, here it is!! Best 61 I've seen by a wide margin. Newly made at PCGS and graded 67FB. You will soon see another newly made great Roosie coming from Onlyroosies.
Both coins came from a single monster set recently submitted as a whole. I will shamelessly add that Greattoning will be selling the others.
These photos are NOT juiced....the coin is a moose!
I am perhaps the most jaded Roosie color collector around, and I am very happy!

Love the new Roosie! It is purdy. I actually love the raised polished die lines on the reverse. Very nice rainbow colors. Looks like about 8 different colors or more.
Wondercoin, Honestly, "the" hole has been filled. Now my worst coin ain't bad. I will slowly and methodically acquire the best I can as they become available. Sound like a strategy?

Very nice 61P. RR's set is now complete. That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. As new Roosies are discovered we will be there to snap them up. I picked up the 47S 68FB that was made from the same set. It will be placed in the "Almighty Dimes" collection. I should have it in hand by the end of next week.
Grant,
The best place to look for coins to add to your collection is right here on these boards. the PM function works really well.
Hey Dick,
When will the rest of those dimes be for sale and what venue will we find them at.
As far a grade range going for at least MS66. Silver and clad both, in fact my first silver piece should be here in the next couple days. Trying for the best registry set I can. PCG/NGC doesn't matter.
Changing the subject. I am having a hard time finding several high grade (poss fb) clads (71d, 74d, 78, 79d, 86p, 87p, 90p, 90d, 95d, 98p, 98d, 99d). Anyone know of any for sale, or does anyone have duplicates? I also have a raw (MS63-64) 1943 DDO FS-101 for sale or trade
I am just the caretaker of this phenomenal set. There are only 3 coins in this set from the JHF set that was auctioned off some years ago. The 51D, 54P and 01D. The “Almighty Dimes” set is #1 all time finest in all Roosevelt FB categories. Many of these dimes came from the Arthur L. Gowman Collection of finest known Roosevelt Dimes. This is my favorite set. It showcases a few more pop 1/0 dimes.
Nick. Congratulations on, once again, building yet another world class Roosevelt Dime set! You have a great eye for this series and your knowledge of the coins is amazing! I should have another coin or two to offer to you later this year and I hope I can get a few more coins represented in your wonderful collection! Great job Nick!!

Just a random thought while I'm typing here...I continue to reflect back on the years of 2005-2010 which are the Satin Finish years. These are the new 1982-1983 years w/o regular Mint Sets. I don't understand why these years are not attracting more interest in collectors in all the denoms. as the only singular way to obtain any high grade specimens is to search countless rolls for these coins. Rolls which are becoming scarce with each passing year that goes by.
IMHO, I believe in 20+ years, you will be seeing collectors paying incredibly significant higher prices for any rolls of these 6 years.

I bought these 2 Roosie Dimes from Nick and they are stellar, so its safe to say I will not be exercising my rights to the 5 day return! Plus, as Nick has always been a super Generous individual, He sent me a beautifully toned 1947-S/S PCGS MS64 RPM FS-503 as a bonus coin free of charge.
Thanks for the comments guys. Tell you what I'll do. I have all 3 of the 1948P MS66FB DDR FS-801 top pops. This is one of my favorite varieties. PCGS list this variety at $1000 on the price guide. First person to buy either the 46S, 47S or 53S I have listed on BST gets one for FREE. If you buy the 47S I have listed I'll also throw in an MS66FB 1946S FS-501 & FS-502.

It has been almost 2 full days. Has anyone taken you up on this fantastic offer???
I noticed in the pop reports recently that someone popped a spectacular 1983-No/S PCGS PR70DCAM pop (1/0) Roosevelt Dime. Now I have always wondered whether or not PCGS would give this lofty grade to this "Error" seeing that the die had to be polished in a way to remove the MM. I would think that the "Error" itself would prevent that from allowing a perfect 70 score seeing it would have the planchet flaw. Anyway if someone here has access to the picture of it(Coinfacts subs.), I would love to see it.
Here are a couple of pictures to keep this thread going! The Quarter thread has dominated for too long!
I'm not sure if I would have ripped these rolls just to be ripping. Someone save these lovely rolls for over 50+ years to preserve them, not for some Dude to come along and destroy them one by one right after another.

Congrats RR!!
So, what date/mm are you looking to improve now or do you have a toned beauty in each slot now?

rainbowroosie April 1, 2003
Once I make some additions on other coin projects, maybe I'll get back to work on my own dime set now that RR's set is done!
Congrats bro.
I realize the 61 only has marginal eye appeal...I'll keep looking.
At least it is a decent "filler coin" for the date...

You should be able to find a decent 99, but the rest are tougher to find in 66 or better, especially FB.
