<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 1825703, member: 9270&quot;]I&#039;m having trouble finding 2 coins to complete a set.</p><p>Not expensive; each cataloging less than $200.</p><p>But they have to be slabbed by PCGS or NGC so I can put them in an NGC Registry Set.</p><p>Naturally one of the problems is that sub-$200 coins don&#039;t get slabbed nearly as often as pricier coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So now I&#039;m putting myself under pressure to buy raw coins that will slab to my specifications.</p><p>The two coins are silver Roosevelt dimes, so:</p><p>-- I want them to be Full Torch (the easier of my two requirements; I shouldn&#039;t have a problem with this)</p><p>-- I want them to be MS-66, <b>definitely</b> not MS-65; I&#039;ll go with an MS-67 as a last resort (I&#039;m trying to complete a matched set at MS-66)</p><p><b>And there&#039;s my problem.</b></p><p>I need to be able to grade a coin as MS-66.</p><p>The ANA grading guide doesn&#039;t even define MS-66 for Roosies; it does MS-65 and MS-67.</p><p>And as most people know the difference between the 3 grades is almost subjective, not objective.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think I&#039;ll start by looking for the two Roosies I want already slabbed MS-66 and determine if they&#039;ll qualify for the FT attribute.</p><p>I really dread going the raw coin route.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
