Today, I bought a NCCG certified 1966 Roosevelt dime graded MS-70. What is it worth? I paid $2.50.

I am sure NCCG is one of the those basement slabbers, which means the dime should be nowhere near MS-70. If the dime was certified by any of the top TPG's, it would definitely be worth a lot of money. Although you can't lose much by paying $2.50, don't ever buy a coin certified by any of those self-slabbers. Is there any way you can give us some pics?

I agree, judging by the past slabs I have seen by this company the coin is probably just pocket change that was put in a holder. A pocket change dime is worth approx. 10¢. if it were 2 years earlier it would have atleast been silver and worth more but a 66 is clad so its probably just going to be worth face

It does look MS-70. No scratches at all.

Well. a lot of coins look really nice, but I don't think they are any out there certified by a top TPG as MS-70. Not saying it isn't MS-70, just saying that many coins seem to appear MS-70 and that a true 1966 MS-70 dime would be very rare and valuable. Pics would be helpful.

m,s-70 is very hard to come by with circulated coins, you may find some commemorative coins in MS-70 but I doubt you will find a MS-70 anything (except the one Lincoln Cent ) thats not satin finish or something like that from a Top TPG

I did the same thing a few years ago. When I went to my usual local coin shop he broke the news to me but then offered to give me a deal on another coin I had my eye on so I wouldn't feel to put out. I wrote it up to a lesson learned and will only consider slabs from the top TPGs. At least it was only $2.50.
