A PCGS MS67 FB recently sold for $26.77 on eBay. A mint set with the W dime sold for $15 recently on eBay. I don't see that as super special, especially in light of inflation. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-US-Min...253?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23501612d5
More of your selective gloss... How refreshing. No one used the word "always." Every now and then even a blind squirrel finds an acorn.
Do something very easy. Make the choice, trade you MS 16-D for a modern RP Roosevelt. I know, there is no valid comparison. The choice between a low survival rate of a century old low mintage business strike for a modern made for collectors coin that we all just got in the mail is a no brainer. I believe that @Tom B has stated it correctly, the speculation is unwarranted at this point. I see it as a nice addition to any collection, but the speculation is flippers just trying to be used car dealers at this point for profit. I wish you all the best, but just look back at the circus that was the first spouse series to know that it may not be all that was advertised.
If I owned one you can have it for $100 bucks, and I would still feel like crook for selling a $30 coin for $100 bucks.
shoot for that money I could get the whole 3 coin set I could pay $120-140. I am talking about just a 2015 reverse proof dime slabbed PCGS PR-69-70
I would think that there's only a few thousand of these super rarities left, better hurry if you want the coin of the month, I mean century.
Maybe I'm the only person who feels this way, but the "other dime" other than the Reverse Proof is the main reason I bought a set. I think all RP's are gimmicky.
