I hope that I'm not 'counting my chickens before they hatch', but I just checked my order tracking from several Roosevelt dimes that I submitted at the Baltimore show a few weekends ago...and there are a few good upgrades for my set. Here are the best...

1957-P MS 65 FT

...Even though this is not technically an upgrade to my set, the 1957-P is one of the hardest Roosevelts among the silver series to find in FT. It might be the hardest to find. And I'm glad to have this one.

1957-D MS 67 FT

...Upgrade from MS 67.

1959-P MS 67 FT

Upgrade from MS 67.

1959-D MS 67 FT

...This is another that is not technically an upgrade for me. I have another 1959-D MS 67 FT ex: Richmond Collection. But it's still a good submission.

1960-P MS 67

...Sort of an upgrade. I have another 1960-P graded MS 66 FT. But I'm not sure which I like better yet.

1961-D MS 66 FT

...Sort of an upgrade. I picked up a 1961-D MS 66+ from the Baltimore show. But like the 1957-P, the 1961-D is another Roosevelt that's quite difficult to find with FT.

As I mentioned, I hope that I'm not 'counting my chickens before they hatch' because I don't have the coins in hand yet...and I'm sure we've all had issues with shipping in the past. But I am very excited and pleased with the results.

All of these were submitted under the "Modern" tier, so they had to be post-1954 coins. But I have about ten 1946-1954 Roosevelts that I can't wait to submit soon after the new year.
