I should read that too. @Kurisu
I spent the better part of the day going through all of my FB dimes to put an order together. I have a few from 1982 etc which will need to grade High and then I have probably 40 or 50 sets from the 70s and 80s that I need to check for more.
And I’m hoping to get it at least a 67 FB from these 2022 rolls.

I hope you don't think I'm stupid but I actually had to right click google search what FB dimes are...and I've had to do that a few other times for other abbreviations on here... I guess there is still much I need to learn about coin collecting...

Here are scope pics of 81, 82, and 83. Scope pics do not show luster or detail very well unless you're in really tight. I also included some cell shots to try and show the FB, 83 may come up short as it should as that one and 80 score large. However, I feel pretty confident the 1981 and 82 will FB, yet to be seen Still digging for 76, 7, 8, & 9, more biggies.
@estil Nope! I don’t think your stupid and there are a lot of abbreviations people use here that I still don’t have a clue with they’re talking about and find myself googuling the answers
Like, how do you like my SLQFH-GTG and I’m like, how do you like MTTBYGYASO
I know its a bad scan but would this be considered a "red"? Is this worth grading? The reverse is a different penny from the same roll. The reverse of the obverse is clean.
I need to check into a scanner that is good for coins.

It is definitely red and definitely not worth having graded.
It might have reached 65 but you’re looking for explosive Luster and she doesn’t have it.
There is a huge reason why people pay up for MS67 and it isn’t rarity it is conditional rarity. Again, take a look at some of the pics on the website and then compare to yours.
@milbroco the sixties are a tough one to find above 66. Most likely not going to come from an alleged original bank roll or even an original bankroll.
Also, I would add that luster and strike Play a huge role in the grade meaning
They will allow for some hits if the aforementioned makes up for it.
Again study Photo grade

Easy to get lost in the weeds on the dimes because your trying so hard to find FBs and surface Preservation that you (unless it has all 3) overlook the best coins with the greatest eye appeal.
Hard to match it all
Did you happen to notice how you often hear about Boomers vs Millennials kind of things but they totally forget there's a generation in between? It's like who are the Gen Xers, chopped liver? Maybe you guys are the new forgotten generation! I take it this is one of your anthems?

Only concerned with how much they appear to be "touched" lol.

But I also found 5 cool "unicorns"...finger feeder scrapes I believe, some have a toothpick in their mouths too lol.
They all came out of one roll.

Google image search was able to only match only the 3 characters directly above his head on another (Chinese) coin but no matches for this coin.
