Reverse proof Roosevelt dime most significant coin of century.

To answer your question, I don't drink, I must be offensive.

You want facts, read reply #322.

Also, what name did I call you?

Well I sent two of my sets back today due to extremely poor quality on the dimes. I hope the mint doesn't simply resell them to another person but probably will occur. I should have sent four sets back in reality but I kind of like the unexplained high and low dot under OF on two of the W proofs I received so I kept those two sets as well as another that was Ok looking.

 

I don't know a lot of people that live in their parent's basement, but I'm sure it can be a good thing for some people (Low rent, cheaper utilities even if you are paying half and if you have the whole basement it can make a nice man cave). It can also benefit the parents if the say person is paying rent since that means extra income for them. Maybe the parents are no longer able too keep the house up by them selves and so they need an extra hand. The person living in the so called basement also might have a job. Those video games and systems can now days cost as much as a nice 3 or 4 figure coin. I always hate these types of stereo typing because everyone's situation's are different.

 

Oh get real. These are the most significant coins of the century because you and others similarly-situated see a fast opportunity and need to exploit them. You're doing a good job at it, I'll give you that. Keep it up. That's all coin collecting is, these days, anyway, marketing to a bunch of fools. Get in there an get yours while the hysteria lasts, translated, before these fools start actually thinking, "What the hell am I doing?"

 

Do you see me selling them? I have never sold one, you would have to be a fool to sell the coin of the century.

 

Touche! You guys are incorrigible. Lol.

 

Welllll, then there are a lot of FOOLS on E-bay!!

 

Here we are, 18 pages of replies, and not one iota of evidence these will be anything more than the next "US Mint Flop"... If this is the "coin of the century" then that is a sad testament to the US coin collecting hobby.

 

There has been talk that dansco is putting together a reverse proof type set album. When released demand for this coin will explode even more than we can imagine.

Think!

 

Like they say, "You can't teach an old dog (numismatist) new tricks". They stopped learning in the 1970's/1980's when mint products lost money. The last 20 years of low mintage, super winners from the mint just don't register with them.

 

See post #323.

 

That's right. Everybody is exploiting the illusion, why not? Dansco is getting its piece of it, and that only reinforces it. These coins are ringers, but they're what turn young collectors on, these days.

 

It sad.

 

I'm 35, I don't think I qualify as an "old dog"...

 

It will happen quickly.

 

Maybe I missed it: Are the 'sets' the only way the reverse proof dimes are being made available?

 

Yep, or broken out of the set on eBay for more than the cost of the mint's set issue price.

 

I'm 34 and feel like an old dog some days. lol

 

I can't wait to get my 5 sets that are on back order. I hope the later strikes are better than some of the early ones shown on these pages.

 

I wasn't around in the 1970s, and wasn't collecting in the 1980s. I think they (I mean we) are correct.
