    Should I keep low mintage and proofs? Is that the universal rule?

    Proofs, 1996-W, 1982 No P.

    If you'd actually read the roll searching thread, you'd have seen this answered sometime in the past 5-10 pages... twice.

    I also save substantial cuds, clips, other errors.

    If you don't know what they are, don't ask, just google it.

    Hey man. It really depends on what you like. If your in it just for the silver then there really isnt a need to keep anything else unless you WANT to. I would get a red book so you could look for key dates. Also you can collect proofs and errors. You can read about errors all over the place but if you find something that looks interesting, hold onto it and maybe itll turn out to be a valuable coin.

    Oh and keep 2009 dimes. They have the lowest mintage in about fifty years. So just think about 50 years from now when the dime has a new dezign, the 2009 will be a key date roosevelt dime and coin collectors who didnt have a chance to save em up now will be paying big bucks for them

    I feel that the 2009 dimes will be like the 1950-D nickels. Stored in original rolls and pulled from circulation en masse by searchers, so extremely common in high grades and will never command a huge premium.

    Still worth saving, I have a few rolls.
