Years ago I bought a Whitman from a LCS. The Whitman had a fairly complete set of 1946 - 1964 Roosevelts. A variety of the Roosevelts were toned up nicely. The price was right, so it was a WTF purchase. Over the years as kind of a backstop at coin shows where I wasn't finding anything else to purchase, I'd look for raw Roosies to fill in the holes in the album. Needless to say, OCD kicked in, and I started buying Roosies to replace Roosies that IMO were not attractively toned up. It was an off and on again project, that I never completed, once all the actually missing date/mm were filled in. Over the next several weeks I'll be posting the coins. I'm happy with the coins from 1954 - 1964, but from 1946 - 1953 there are some coins that I just left in there from the original album purchase that IMO are basically fillers for the date/mm. It would not surprise me if a couple of upgrade coins from the 1960's are AT, but I've seen far worse AT jobs holdered in plastic from the two major TPGs. The original album contained BU/AU coins, so I've continued buying coins in these grades. Years ago I posted the 1946 and 1947 Roosevelts, and the 1948's are mediocre. Here are the 1949 PDS for the Whitman album. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.
Attractive, unique toning. Rosies rarely tone attractively, compared with other coins. Those are great album choices.
@Morgandude11 I just realized that I had posted the 1946 PDS Roosies (and 1947 for that matter) about 5 years ago. My 1948 Roosevelts are mediocre, so I edited the post, after your kind comments, to be about 1949 PDS Roosevelts. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to change the title to reflect the change that the coins are from 1949. @expat I've changed the coins in the post to 1949.
I think thee only toned Rosie I have is in this set... The main reason I bought this set was for the quarter.
