Newest addition to my Roosevelt Dime Set

Very tough FT coin, with only 14 coins graded with FT status and only one coin better in MS 67 FT. This is undoubtedly one of the toughest clad Roosevelts to find in FT grades. The Philadelphia mint coins from 1969-1980 are all very tough in FT, as well as the 90 P&D and 91 P&D coins.

Couldn't resist this coin, when it was offered to me in a private transaction. This is the next to last 1960's clad dimes in FT. The other is the 69-D which I have on layaway now, should add that coin in about a month or so.

Pursuant to my "goals" for the year. I have 21 coins at NGC right now for grading. 2 hazy coins I sent to NCS for conservation and then NGC grading - the other 19 were sent directly to NGC. Twenty of the coins were Roosevelt dimes, which should allow me to fill some holes and swap out a few PCGS coins in my set as well as upgrade a few slots - hopefully...

I won't pay for crossover grading either, but I've been taking a different approach with my modern Roosies. Grade my own coins to fill the slots that are hard to find in NGC slabs.

Today's picture is of the subject coin - 1969 MS 66 FT Roosevelt.

Have a great weekend!
