Slowly adding and raising the rank.

Friends,

As you know I send in submissions to add to my mint sets for 1970 to date. The dimes have been a challenge as it is sometimes very hard to tell that a Roosevelt is borderline FT and won't make the label. Another tough one is the nickel that looks to be full steps but also falls short of it's label. I will be sending in a group of both next month for dates 1980 to date and have high hopes for those. As I get better I send in less coins and have better grades overall at less of a cost.

My latest venture this month was a hook-up with a friend that does the same and he is much better than I am at finding the best overall pieces. I will be adding his coins to my sets and offering him some of mine as I get better grades. I will be getting 30 or so MS67FT's and a couple MS68FT's today or tomorrow to add to the sets and very happy that we are going to be working together in the distribution of each others extras. This should prove to be a fun and challenging new partnership.

Rick
