They're still popular, as they are the keys to the Roosy series. They're at the lowest price they'll ever sell for, simply because there are so many on the market now.

 

If they're truly at the lowest price they'll ever sell for, why would so many people be putting them on the market, instead of waiting for them to go up?

One could as easily have made the same statement about the HOF commemoratives a few weeks after their release and sellout. That didn't work out, either. (And let's not mention that other 2014 gold issue...)

 

Because that's what flippers do, a quick profit is all they're looking for and they probably need the funds they tied up.

The HOF? Apples & oranges, you're talking commems, not the key dates to circulating series.

To go lower, the dimes would have to sell for the same as the 1996-w dime with a mintage of 1.45M, that ain't gonna happen - they will eventually sell for a lot more.

 

Why are there so many on the market? Seems the Roosy collectors would be gobbling them up at these low prices. Could it be that there aren't 75,000 collectors of the Roosy, maybe less than 30,000.

 

That's just a WAG. There are enough Roosy collectors to drive the price of the 1996-w, a coin with 1.4M mintage, to $20 or more.

 

Is that $20 what people are asking or what people as paying? I have seen complete 1996 mint sets under $15. Now, graded examples of the dime with FT or FB command a premium but that is a different animal. TC

 

True, that's a price range, which goes very high for high grades. The point being, once the market settles, these MoD dimes will sell for much more than the 1996-w.

 

Brutal honesty does not require name calling and an unwarranted opinion of someone's intelligence.

 

I absolutely agree with you but probably for a different reason. The original cost of the 1996 Mint set was only $8 and contained no silver but a unique dime. Today, you can buy that set for about 2x original price at a show or on eBay. The MoD sets cost $63 and contain an ounce of silver plus the 2 unique silver dimes. I think you may be focusing on mintage/supply only. The cost of the 2015 was much greater and we are talking silver as well. Given that, these MoD dimes will be with more over time. TC

 

I agree with your analysis, you mentioned important factors. However, you are correct, I put more emphasis on the low mintage combined with the uniqueness of the coins. I mean c'mon 75K for a series that's destine to be popular - most are easily attainable, affordable, and the most loved president ever.

 

What are you talking about??? Oh, you're new, welcome. Hang around for awhile, this conversation is what we call civil around here.

 

Don't let the gateway hit you in your keester. Come back when you're wearing your big boy pants.

Take it with a grain Spenser. Most of what you perceive as bad manners and name calling is really, in fact, just good ol' ribbing and elbowing. If you're that sensitive about thing then maybe you should seek knowledge elsewhere. There are syrupy sweet sites that serve good manners and '0' knowledge. Gotta take the good with the bad here..........separate the wheat from the chaff........

 

same ol same ol modern crap hype!..now on to the
Chronicle set hype, then in two weeks it'll be the 2015 Lib. HR gold coin hype ... which again will last a few months and then dies

 

..Only one man's opinion!

 

The fact is similar sets over the last 20 years have all done well. Why wouldn't this one?

 

It's probably simpler than that. We probably don't think of it much but when a coin is intended for circulation that's a challenge. If it's packaged in a special mint set that's no challenge. In addition coins intended for circulation have an economic component as they're the backbone of that economy. Collecting special mint set coins is collecting novelties. There's a market for that but it's not nearly as broad as these investors would imagine. You want my honest opinion, it ranks with collecting tokens.

 

To each their own. Of course thee most valuable coins were never intended to circulate - the 1804 Dollar, the 1913 V Nickel, 1894-s Dime, etc., etc., etc.

 

Those aren't special mint set coins. Special mint set coins are novelties. Proof coins aren't intended to circulate, either, but have value to proof sets. These dimes are ringers, do you want to know? I'm not saying they have no value. They have no value to circulating sets.

 

This has been beat to death. Many/most who collect modern circulating coin sets also collect the proofs.
