Yeah, I like them all. I don't know, 75k may be lower for the number of Roosy collectors than 50k is for the number of Sac collectors. Whether you consider these numbers low or not, they are uber low for a modern coin of their type, including regular proofs.
Not really waiting. Bottom line is, for these as well as other special issues, I'll only be counting paper gains, as these coins will be left to my heirs.
It's a simple enough matter. Just show me one person who collects business strikes and believes these are necessary for his or her set.
I'd take a genuine Apollo-returned moon rock for mine. THAT'S "moon money". BTW, when the reverse proof Prezzie dollars come out, with mintages way below these, the dimes will tank. Nothing ever survives "the next thing". What do I mean by tank? Set at about 50-75% over OIP. Doesn't it seem like the baseball coins were like 5 years ago?
What??? Here's my prior example: I don't know, these uber low mintage special issues that are part of a circulating series, that probably will be THEE keys to the series don't seem to lose steam with the next issue. Look at the one before the dimes, the 2014-d EU Sac, still heading up at around 400% appreciation. Sac collectors will want these regardless of what else is released, as will Roosy collectors. Of course, I'm not flipping mine, I'm holding out for moon money. As will pres dol collectors.
Yeah, I had one 14-D Sac slabbed in a brown stripe NGC holder. My other four are as shipped. What I REALLY like, though, is the 2013 FRN with Loopy Lew's cleaned up signature.
Ask a reasonable question and I'll answer it. Who knows how high they'll go, but they have the POTENTIAL to go much higher, given POTENTIAL demand.
Is there any reasonable way to find out how many people really collect Roosevelt dimes, Sacagawea dollars, Presidential dollars, etc.? When I say really collect, I mean must have or would like to have one of every date/type for their collection. I remember when Mike Mezak said 50 million people collect state quarters. I think he was counting anyone who ever had one in their possession...lol. For example, I have a Dansco with all Prez dollars to date that my son (who has now lost interest) and I have put together. I do not consider myself a Prez dollar collector and will not be upset if I do not get the RP Prez dollars minted this year. Are there really 75,000 Roosevelt dime enthusiasts out there? I was thinking maybe 5,000 +/- 2,500 true collectors. The bulk of the 75,000 MOD sets were likely purchased by flippers and dealers followed by general modern US Mint coin collectors/speculators and then finally the true Roosevelt dime aficionados. I truly believe that 75,000 was way too high of a mintage for these. We will all see what future demand is, but I am skeptical that these will ever bring moon money (at least how I define moon money). TC
They're necessary to the one who hopes they're necessary because he's stuck with five sets. Now there's a coincidence!
I do not collect dimes, but will keep a few of these. Same with the enhanced dollars. It does not have to be just that specific collector group. If a coin is a semi-low mintage and unique, it will attract other collectors as well.
I recently saw an ebay auction sell a raw 1912 D Mint state barber half for 1300. I'm all for taking chances, but that's MOON MONEY for a raw Barber Half uncert.
