I didn't win a single one...I don't bid strong money on NGC coins anymore unless I can see them in person.
The price points I'm comfortable paying for sight unseen NGC coins are one grade back and no attribution, so if a coin is MS68FB, I will only pay MS67 no bands money.
So I'm not surprised I didn't win any...but since I only do PCGS plastic I'd need to cross them therefore I learned never to break the above rule and then I'm usually ok..
>>>The price points I'm comfortable paying for sight unseen NGC coins are one grade back and no attribution, so if a coin is MS68FB, I will only pay MS67 no bands money.<<<
That's a VERY GOOD rule. This has always been my rule also.
I consigned that dime with him a few weeks ago. It's always odd to see photos of coins you used to own. There was another really good looking coin that I consigned with him. This one here
I've never seen this kind of toning on any other Roosevelt dime...half blue and half pink. The only reason that I got rid of it was because I have too many other nice looking '57-P in my collection now.
NGC MS 67
NGC MS 66 The photos don't do this coin justice. The reverse on this one is one of my favorite toners in my set.

By the way, does anyone else here collect other things related to the Roosevelt dime? Here are a few things that I've acquired over the past few months...
A few March of Dimes awareness and fundraising matchbook covers. I'm guessing these are all from the late 1930s to early 1940s. One is dated 1938, and another refers to "President" Franklin D. Roosevelt.
From bottom to top: * FDR First Day Cover Jan. 30 1946 -- This was issued on the same date as the public release date of the Roosevelt dime. * March of Dimes Coin Donation Mailer -- Not dated, but it must be from after FDR's death. The mailer says "In Remember of Franklin D. Roosevelt". * March of Dimes Printers Block -- Don't know how to date this one. I'm guessing it's from the late 30s or early 40s based on the design of the logo with the torch.
Cancelled Roosevelt dime mint die. The serial number on this is: D4 - 518607. I don't know where this was used. But I have seen others that were used at the San Francisco Mint with a serial number that began with an S. So I am guessing this was used at Denver.
Some colorful stamps from San Marino issued in 1947:
Another March Of Dimes coin donation card. I can't date this one exactly, but based on the design of the union logo in the bottom right hand corner on the reverse, it must date somewhere between 1945 and 1964. Based on the overall design, however, I'd guess it dates from the late 1950s to early 1960s. The kid on the back looks like Elroy Jetson:

Just put up some PCGS & NGC certified Roosies for sale on the Buy/Sell/Trade forums if anyone is interested. Here
Decent coins at pretty good prices. The highlight (or at least I think it's the highlight) is a 1958-D Teich Family coin. I've owned a handful of these. None are really good looking. But that one is the nicest looking that I've ever seen.
There's also a 1959-P NGC MS 67 that might go FB for $67.
"Man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.” - Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
<< <i>I would like to know how PCGS determines FB as I have seen FB coins and wonder how and seen non FB and wonder why not. Can anyone help. >>
Yeah. So PCGS began designating Full Bands (FB) in 2003. So Roosevelt dimes slabbed before 2003 won't carry a FB designation. Perhaps the Roosevelt dimes you saw with full torch details were slabbed before 2003. Also to note, FB (as well as NGC's FT) only applies to business-struck coins. There is no FB or FT designation on proof Roosevelts.
PCGS' press release about the Full Bands designation from 2003 says, "The PCGS ''Full Bands'' designation for Roosevelts requires that both the upper and lower pair of bands on the torch be distinct and show full separation. The line dividing the bands must be complete and unbroken."*
Not that you asked about NGC but...there is a slight difference between PCGS' and NGC's designation requirements. NGC also started designating Full Torch (FT) in 2003. Their original press release said, "The designation FT for Full Torch will be applied to Roosevelt Dimes having both upper and lower pair of horizontal bands split as well as the vertical lines of the torch being defined."** The difference is, according to the press release definitions, that PCGS does not mention anything about the vertical lines.
"Man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.” - Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
Yeah if both band lines are split, typically all of the vertical lines are present. However, even if both band lines are present (as you know it's mostly the lower band line that is missing) sometimes there may be an interruption in the vertical lines, which may hold a coin back from NGC's FT designation. In the example below, the bottom line looks pretty good, but there is clearly a contact mark that interrupts the continuity of the vertical lines above the lower band. This might hold this coin back from NGC's FT designation. But it might not hold it from PCGS' FB...that is according to their original definitions.
By the way, this is one that I am selling here. It's a 1959-P NGC MS 67 in a 5th generation slab. That was before the company started with the FT designation. And I considered sending it in for Designation Review, but I think that the contact mark above the lower band line might hold it back from FT. But again, and as I mention in the sale post, I actually think this dime has a better chance of going PCGS' FB than NGC's FT.
...I should try to get a better photo of it.
"Man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.” - Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
What date of the silver series would you say is the hardest to find either FB or FT?
I've counted them up, and it seems that the 1949-S has the lowest total number of NGC/PCGS certified FT or FB, respectively. But I've found that the 1957-P might be just a bit harder to find. After submitting dozens of '57-Ps to NGC, I recently got one back MS 65 FT.
1956-P and 1961-D are others that I've had trouble with in the past. I do have a '56-P MS 66 FT, but no '61-Ds either FT or FB.

I put this on the U.S. Coin Forum, but thought I would put it here also. It's the 1969-P rev of 68. Nice strike for a 69-P, but for the mark on the "R" of LIBERTY I think will be a real nice coin.

Dimeman,
That is a nice coin other then the mark on the obverse, which incidentally I do not believe PCGS will grade this dime. They might bodybag it due to damage.

Really nice example. Even with the mark, I'd be happy to have this coin in my collection.

Also, there are some killer clads on eBay right now. These are not my auctions:
"Man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.” - Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
I got the 1969-P 901 today. It is much nicer in hand than the scan. Good strike for a 69-P. While the bands are not full there is some of a line. Far from the normal flatness usually seen.
I can't tell what it is on the "R". It doesn't look like a scratch so maybe it is a strike thru. It's not as bad in hand as in the pic. I think PCGS would grade it 63...give or take a grade.

Congrats. '69 FS-901 is a tough coin to find in any grade.
BTW, does anyone know anything about the 1959 Broken S of JS as seen in the photo below...
I've seen it mentioned only in one place; here, which is where I got the photo.
I've found a few other examples on eBay. But eBay photos are rarely clear enough to make it out. Here's one that I did find earlier today, where you can clearly see the Broken S.
The eBay listing doesn't mention the Broken S. And I would actually buy this coin. But the guy wants $40 for it. Here's the whole coin.
I don't know where he's getting the $40 price from. I messaged him and said that I'd give him $10 for it, which I think is more than fair. He said he wouldn't take less than $25.
"Man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.” - Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
I haven't seen either one of these but I don't think I would be interested. Now I would be interested in the 46S no js from the DIME MAN. I already know the answer tho no need to reply.
Not much for sale at the show. Dealers with above average Roosies were totally out of touch with market prices for low pop coins. I'd say dealers were asking twice the real market price. When pushed, they would offer lower prices, but still above true market value. The PCGS price guide needs a major correction on Roosie prices. For example, I bought one monster coin at 40 percent of what it had sold for in the past.
I also sense that a plus on a high grade coin no longer carries a major premium. What it does is tell the buyer that the coin really does make the assigned grade.
This will sound self serving, but recently made pop tops in general are really nothing special (IMHO). They just make the grade....maybe.
Best part of the show was seeing the Roosie and toning guys. Great meal at Capital Grill, also did Italian! Don't play golf with Onlyroosies unless you get strokes. 😉
"You keep your 1804 dollar and 1822 half eagle -- give me rainbow roosies in MS68." rainbowroosie April 1, 2003
A dealer recently took a shot at me trying to sell me a pop 1/0 quarter I needed in 67+ for $25,000. The coin was maybe worth $5,000 or $6,000 in MS67 on a good day. I would have considered paying $10,000 for the MS67+ if he had come to me with that figure in the first place. After he took the shot, I told him he had a $10,000 quarter at best and wished him luck. I just watched the coin hammer at $6,500. Had I bid, it is very possible the coin might have reached $10,000. Without me, the pop 1/0 MS67+ coin sold for less that the current Price Guide price of an MS67 coin! I just felt bad karma with the coin. This ties into RR's comment about the + coins. The premiums are shrinking fast in many cases. And, when gradeflation kicks in when a coin achieves the full point upgrade to 68, the market is no longer chasing registry points like the old days. I nearly had to do a double take when I saw this week an MS68FS silver war nickel hammer at just $5,500 (or thereabouts) when the coin was a $20,000 coin just a couple years ago. But, guess what- the pop has doubled in that time and you are only as good as your worst quality coin for the grade. No doubt, many 68s these days are just the 67+ coins of a few years ago.
As always, just my two cents. Wondercoin
Please visit my website at www.wondercoins.com and my ebay auctions under my user name www.wondercoin.com.
RR & WC Great market report and right on the button. I saw and was offered more high grade Roosies then ever before at any show. I looked at at least 8 or 9 that would upgrade the "Almighty Dimes Set" I bought exactly 0. Not because the coins were bad. In fact I was offered 6 from 2 different dealers I really wanted. One was a 1957D MS68FB pop 1/0. $9000 was the asking price. I would have paid $4000 in the moment. after thinking about it if the coin came to me today for $4K I would pass. I have a beautiful 57D in 67FB that will plus when I get around to sending it in. I would rather use the money to buy several 67+FB coins. A 68FB is only half a point pop in the registry from a 67+FB and the 57D only carries a weight of 1 in the registry.
The fun was dinner, Golf and hanging out with my Roosie Buddies. Don't let RR fool you he put a wooping on us at Golf.
It was great seeing the Roosie gang, and other friends at FUN. Although no coins were acquired the togetherness was outstanding. Dinner, wine, etc. was, as always, top-notch.

Nick is selling 4 Silver Roosies at stupid/insane prices and for a record since this thread has managed to keep a pulse I would like to be able to look back on his thread per say, so here is a link to Nick's Silver Roosie Dimes.
Paul, No pics at this time. all sales are on approval with a return option. I don't think my prices are out of line. In fact I think they're right at market value. If I'm only willing to pay what I believe Roosie's are worth in todays market I have to be willing to sell then at those prices too. They are only worth what someone else is willing to pay. So far I have only had one offer for one of the dimes and that offer was almost 25% below my asking price. Are they still over priced? Demand is still way below supply.

Thanks Bill, it was fun putting together a complete 1946 - 1964 MS67 set in all NGC Star Holders. I believe it's the first complete set with all Stars!!!
Here's a link for ATS if anyone would like to view the set. Some very pretty little dimes...

Nick, any photos or truviews with these very low pop Dimes?
Later, Paul.
I think they're right at market value. If I'm only willing to pay what I believe Roosie's are worth in todays market I have to
be willing to sell then at those prices too. They are only worth what someone else is willing to pay. So far I have only had one offer for
one of the dimes and that offer was almost 25% below my asking price. Are they still over priced? Demand is still way below supply.
