Excuse me for not getting overly excited about being #1.
Truth of the matter is, I added my 2019P and 2019D coins before Hansen and Halcyon.
Once both of those guys add their 2019 coins, I will be back in my customary #3 spot.
Lately, I have finally realized that I have climbed this ladder about as far as I can go, (always behind Hansen and Halcyon).
Nevertheless, I did take a screenshot picture of the present rankings as Nick suggested.

3 ALL-TIME FINEST FULL BAND CIRCULATION STRIKE ROOSIE SET
1946-1964 HAS BEEN RETIRED AND IS FOR SALE...............
I have climbed this ladder aggressively for the past year or so, and I have reached the top step of MY ladder.
Halcyon and Hansen are not going to be caught.
3 is as high as this good ole Kentucky boy can go.
I like a challenge, and I am going to begin work on my #2 FB 1946-1964 set. Might be able to get it into the top 5.
I am still working on my Proof Roosie Set, as well as my Clad Roosie Set, and my Roosie Varieties ( Proof-Silver-
and Clad.)
PM me if you have any questions.
Stacks/Bowers had a nice 1955-D PCGS MS68FB hammer last night in the D. Brent Pogue auction for $5,280 w/o the juice. Nice looking dime. Loved to own part of his collection thats for sure.
I was fortunate enough to win the 55-D last night - a piece of Nick's original collection now comes back home to the Roosie Gang. The hammer price was $4,400.

That was the first 55D 68FB ever made. I bought the coin raw on ebay about 20 years ago for $35. PC graded it
MS68 first time through. This was right when the FB designation started. I resubmitted it for designation review
and PC added the FB. It was in my original #1 Roosie set when "Just Having Fun" purchased my complete set.
“a piece of Nick's original collection now comes back home to the Roosie Gang. The hammer price was $4,400.”
Meanwhile, Nick took the funds he sold that 55-D to me for way back when, invested it in gold and now has something like $25,000-$30,000 in value! Not $4,400! Lol.
I might be a little off, but not too much! Lol.

if anyone wants to see some spectacular Silver Roosie Dimes check out the retired PCGS Close to perfect set. Many of which are in higher graded holders today. Including the dime David posted above, the pop 1/0 53P PC 68FB and the prettiest 55D you have ever seen now PC 68FB.

Nick, all I can say is WOW !!!! Beautiful fb set.
I'm 8 coins away from my own 100 % ms67 fb set. Shout out to Gary ( Ilikemonsters ) and Danny Biddle for the help. Unfortunately I'm to the point of needing only the High dollar ones so my quest has slowed down. Don't have the budget to afford the beautiful toners that you have Nick. Coinjunkie won't like mine as I always liked the blast white Roosies. ( Old school. Collecting for almost 56 years )

Nick has built some incredible sets. And, assisted many others doing the same.

News Flash (I think). I just noticed that Danny Biddle's #1 retired roosie set has been un-retired and is back on the
registry. I think Danny missed us to much and is back in the game. I also noticed an upgrade to his silver set and
several upgrades to his clad set including a 1982 no-P 67FB. Danny are you back and continuing to build up your #1 Set?
Some recent upgrades I’ve added to my set.
Thanks to @CoinJunkie for the 48S, 49D and 50D and @DIMEMAN for the 55P.
Grades In order of the pictures are 67, 67, 67FB, 67+, 67+, 67, 67+ and 67+.

@DANNY Why would you retire your best set, just to work on your next best set.
You never know what coins will come along....
Later, Paul.
BTW, I'm happy with whatever choices you make as they are your sets. I wish you the best of luck.

Puzzle's me too.

Damn he had some nice coins.

Great history on that 55-D. It is a killer coin!
Did anyone here win the 49-D? As I mentioned on the main forum, I bid on it but didn't win.
Not bad for a $35 investment!
Would have hate to been the one to sell it when it was raw!
So what is going on in the Roosie world?
What is everyone doing during these trying times?
Later, Paul.
Gary and I got this one upgraded To 68+*FT!
Beautiful Dime David. Congrats on the upgrade. That is the nicest 54S I have ever seen. An old friend of mine.

I'm spending even more time on the PC. Hope everything is well with you Paul. Working in a Hospital is a risk! Be safe,
Some gorgeous coins in that set, Nick, along with a few too many white coins for my taste.
Among others, I really like the 50D, 51D, and 52D, especially since those dates are tough to locate with superb color.

I need to buy a Roosie, got to have a fix soon.
Proud to say I own 3 of these in their original slabs! Been working on a 4th but the guy is not nice. Keep ur fingers crossed.

You are working on a really nice set of Roosies Paul.....stay safe!

I was hoping for a proof like "PL" attrib, not this time. Neither one received the FB which I was not all that sure. The latter one is better though.

I'm assuming he bought the specimen that was on GC last night. Fantastic price as a buyer.

I just added this colorful Roosie to my sets!

Really like the look of this 49P!
Excited to see what it looks like in hand when it gets here in a day or 2.
