All I can say is WOW! Brian has jumped to the #1 spot in the 1946-1964 Roosie dime registry. And in a hurry with a bunch of amazing additions to his set. Several POP 1/0 68*FT coins have put him in the first spot. It would be very cool to see his set in person next to my #1 PCGS Set. Between the two, the colors cover the rainbow, in some cases with just one coin!
Congrats Brian!

Nice Job Brian, A new Roosie King is born. Wow! A world class set indeed. The torch has officially been handed over. Talk about crushing the Silver Roosie Competition, You have done it….Congratulations of a great achievement
Thanks fellas, I had a lot of help finding these coins and putting this set together! I'm good with having a target on my back. I can stare at nicely toned Roosies all day long...it would be great to see someone come up with some more of these gems. I'm not even close to the set I would like to have before they put me in the ground (all 68*FT coins)...now that will be a challenge, especially the way NGC is with the star designation at the moment.

WalkerfanWalkerfan TOTAL NEWBIE, makes no sense and seems very paradoxical and counter-intuitive.
Is it a very lame attempt at sarcastic humor??

When someone COMPLETES a set it is a HUGE deal and quite an achievement. But to take over the #1 spot!! That is just incredibly awesome and certainly deserves resounding praise!
Congrats!!!

Wow! If anyone has yet to view this set it's a must see. Every coin has a pic and discription. Many one of a kind and finest known. Just an amazing mind blowing set of Roosies.
He may have taken the award this year. But I can honestly say..He bought the award and he PAID for it. Now when it comes time to sell.. I dont think he will even get 80% what he put into it.. In wouldnt pay those prices..I know someone who found a sucker and made him pay for those coins

Wow!....That's kinda harsh. Not even 80%??? Do I sense some envy??

The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.
when you start paying 4500.00 +++++ for ms68*FT roosevelt dimes you have to wonder, how many ppl want to spend that kind of money for that coin when time comes to sell.My collectoin is right under his and I probally paid less than 50%than him to accomplish it..when the #1 guy before me sold his collection, I wasnt even told about the sale.They knew that I wasnt going to pay those prices and they needed a new fish..Did they hook a big one! WOW !!!!!! When I first started going after the #1 guy,I was suckered in by someone and started paying outragous prices to accomplish it..He sold me a 68FT for 3500.00 .8 monthes later I aquired the same coin in 68*FT for 2600.00 through an auction site..Over the years, I took a major loss on some coins in my collection...This dude is about to take a blood bath..I hope his 401K will be there...I dont envy him. I feel sorry for him...I have a big smile on my face as i write this. A fool and his money are soon parted
