The "floating roof" nickname is a gimmicky term people have been pushing to try to make something very common (removal of details by die polishing at the mint) to bring enough interest people will pay more than face value for a coin. Like all die polishing events that erase details, this is not uncommon, rare, or valuable to people who know coins.

They can be fun to look for, but don;t quit your day job :)

It was a floating roof, but not a no fg. the coin was also severly damaged, which further decreases the value.
