You're right. I forgot; they talk smack about "crack out" artists but happily accept their money. Then they call the "winning bidders" fools/idiots. Go figure.
Sorry for the late reveal, but @Lehigh96 is the winner with a guess of $125. I actually paid $165. Here's the story: obviously, it was posted here raw with gradable photos, so I took a shot and made an offer of X price guide, which, as I recall, was quite a bit lower than it is now. I made this offer before the grade was in, so I consider myself somewhat lucky it didn't get FB. Yeah, it was an overpay, but, for the prettiest Roosevelt dime I'd ever seen (and it's still nicer than all the ones on PCGS Coinfacts now), I don't regret it. I'm pretty sure I could sell today for more than what I paid, and, in absolute dollars, a $50 or $100 overpay isn't that big a deal for a coin I intend to own for a long, long time. @Lehigh96 you're up.
Very nice colors on this one. I stupidly guessed a low price thinking that you got it for a steal. No offense.

I had the same thought process as you. It's quite unusual to see a raw Roosevelt Dime bring over $100. I think the $165 was strong money, but it does look nice and should sell (probably for more as Paul M. mentioned) fairly easily in its current holder.
Oops Yea raw toned rosies can still be had fairly cheap nowadays..( maybe not as nice as this one) i actually thought 45 was waaaay high since it was a raw purchase..
I just noticed, in my previous post, where it says “X price guide,” it should have said “X times price guide.”
