1972 D Roosevelt Dime NGC MS 67 FT

[TD Henson]

Superb coin with great luster!

 

Year: 1972 D

Grade: MS 67 FT

Registry Points: 1,303

NGC Pop: Top Pop 8/0

Purchase Price: Self Made

 

These early clad Roosevelts are difficult to find fully struck and even more so to find with decent luster. I come across many coins that have wonderful luster and/or toning, but generally speaking that's the end of the line as the quality usually isn't up to par.

 

This coin was the exception, after removing it from an original mint set I was impressed with the luster and subtle steel blue/rose colored hues across the entire obverse. Closer inspection on the obverse proved that the coin was of decent grade. Imagine my complete surprise when I flipped it over and found the reverse to be just as nice and that the coin was full struck and indeed a full torch.

 

Top Pop at NGC with just 8 total coins graded for the grade and FT status. Replaces another NGC example, in my set, that was purchased through Teletrade.

 

Have a great day!

PS - the picture isn't crooked, but rather the die is slightly rotated on this example as well!

Thanks Gary! It looks even better in person. My photographic skills aren't near as good as many here at CS.

It lessens the sting of the dogs I invariably send in for grading and then kick myself for...

Todd, The pic looks great to me. Let me know when you get a spare one of those 70s. Your coin submissions seem to be getting better and better.
