Anyone up for some Roosie Talk? - Thread #8 - PCGS Please read this thread and consider the H.o.F

Hi guys. I am tired of looking at this #8 or #9 MS Silver FB set of mine. Would like to move it up to #4 or #5. Can anyone help me add some upgrades to the set. Generally paying around 80%-100%+ of Nick’s price guide for these upgrades IF THEY ARE NICE COINS as that pricing is as good as any I have seen. Here are some easier upgrades if anyone has these...

WANTED:

1946-P MS67+FB
1946-D MS67+FB
1947-S MS67+FB
1950-S MS67+FB
1951-P MS67+FB
1951-S MS67+FB
1952-S MS67+FB
and so on...

Thanks.

Edited to add... thank you to a couple board members for already offering me coin opportunities. I am not strictly relying on Nick’s Guide for my pricing (for example I offered about 20% over for a coin offered to me today) but, I will not not typically go beyond a -20% to +20% range absent extraordinary circumstances. Thanks.m

I Will be tickled pink to tuck into the #4 dime slot unless Dr. Larry wants to stay there, in which case I will round out the top 5 happily. The MS silver dime set will look nice along side my “top 5” silver MS Franklins and Wash. quarters.

It is done. PC finally decided to slab another Silver MS68+FB Roosie. This 1948D is pop 2/0 for the series. Congrats to John on adding this crown jewel to his already world class Roosevelt Dime set "The Halcyon Collection.

Woo hoo John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big thanks, everyone! This one was a long time in coming. And while the coin is in my set a big set of kudos goes to Gary who helps me with my submissions - he's a young buck but he already has a keen eye for Regrades & Crosses.

Miss you guys big time!

I have been very impressed with Gary. He has some great accomplishments under his belt and has done tremendous work for me.

Congrats to John on this awesome addition to his set.

I am not juicing the photos, this is the true toning. #40174858 MS64

Why is that graded 64? Surfaces look much better.

I wish I knew! I called it a 6 when I received it in hand. I think the graders just wanted it out the door haha.

I heard rumors to that. I believe Gary had something to do with that. I wonder if we'll ever see a 69 silver.

Without a doubt John has compiled a beautiful set of Roosies. Heck, I look at his set more than my own ( I know what mine look like LOL ) I really love the even, two sided toning on the 48-P. My favorite. I wish I could afford to play in that end of the pool. Wasn't sure where he acquired his latest additions.

You don't have to be #1 to put together a nice set. No disrespect to John, or his set, but there are many great Roosie Sets out there of all ranges, some quite unique. I'm proud John has built such a wonderful set, and hope it's never exceeded.

But, take time to view other sets, it can be a real treat. Those collectors have also worked hard to build sets.

Just my random thoughts...

True View pics are up of Johns 2 new additions if anyone want to see them check them out in his set.

@Tom147 said:
Beautiful. Like them both but kinda like the 61 a little more.

I agree. I love Johns 61P.

lablover, how do you see the 2nd as misgraded ? Think it's a plus ? I would agree with that. Just wanting to clarify.

I'd have to see them in hand, but I like yours better than the three from CoinFacts.

Here's something new from the PCGS Grading Floor.

MS67+FB

MS67 (They miss-graded this one)

Damn Jim - those are friggin’ sweet. The 46S looks money 68FB but they might have held a bit back based on the die crack and a little mushiness of the date. Personally I love the die cracks - kinda like the DNA of the coin when struck.

Agree with Doc - anytime you want to sell those babies let us know!

As I check the Silver Roosie pop report each day I just noticed a couple new big coins were slabbed. the MS68+FB pop went from 3 to 4. Another 46S 68+FB was just made. a beautiful 49P 68 pop 1/0 no-bands was also slabbed. Lets see where these end up. Looking through the no-band registry sets I see 3 top sets with a few coins missing hinting to me that each of these players sent in coins for regrade. The 3 sets are Emerald Coast, Halcyon and Robinette. I would bet 1 or both of these coins belongs to one of these set owners. I'll be watching the registry to see where these two beauties end up.

I see Robinette just updated his set and the 46S 68+FT and 49P 68 are now both in his set. Nice upgrades

Anyone ever look at the 74 FB dime in the PCGS pictures on the pop report page? Give me a break use the magnifyer. Check out the hits on the bands to make it look full.

Wish I could say the same. But once they get into your blood, you are stuck with it. Even left for 10 years, eeeeehhh dang! Had to check back on them. Got me stuck on them again.

Dan50 that can't be fb. I've had submissions look alot better than that but didn't get the fb designation.

BeefCurry808 MS64? Man thats worse than the drumming I took on my last submission.
I going to crack about 5 out send them back in, see what comes back.
