The 09 Coins...

The Current 2009 Coins, That we have circulating currently, or that have at least been minted, will not, and will never be, KEY DATES, unless a vast amount, are melted down. These have millions, upon millions of being minted, and it is just not going to happen!
Here Are the Mintage Numbers for This Year’s coins, yes this years are lower, but they are not low enough, to ensure that these will be semi key or key dates. You CANT have near 100 million of one coin, and call it a key.
Quarters:
Washington D.C. Quarter:
2009-P 83.6 Million
2009-D 88.8 Million
Puerto Rico Quarter:
2009-P 53.2 Million
2009-D 86 Million
Dimes:
2008-P 413 Million
2008-D 637.5 Million
2009-P 96.5 Million
2009-D 49.5 Million
2008-P Minus 2009-P=316.5 Million
2008-D Minus 2009-D=588 Million
Nickels:
2008-P 287.8 Million
2008-D 352.8 Million
2009-P 39.84 Million
2009-D 39.36 Million
2008-P Minus 2009-P=247.96 Million
2008-D Minus 2009-P=313.44 Million
Even with mintage numbers down, in the hundreds of millions, THESE ARE NOT RARE. There are still millions, and if a coin, with a mintage of 39.84 million is a KEY date, in any series, well then, that says a lot about the mintage of that particular series doesn’t it now! What I’m trying to get across, to all of you is, that these coins, are not, and will never be rare, due to their mintage! There is no reason in paying premiums for a coin, JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT FIND IT… Some of the people are saying that they will pay these tremendous premiums, because they have not seen a 09 Dime yet? That makes no sense to me, last year I didn’t see a 2008 penny, until mid year, but I didn’t go out and pay a premium for the coin. There is no reason to pay any premiums for these coins, and wait, in a few months, you’ll see the coins gradually get into circulation, and if people hoard, okay, they will realize soon enough, that the more they hoard, the more the population of a BU 2009 coin is, and then they will realize, the coin isn’t worth keeping onto, and just spend it, which is the smart thing to do. If you can find a 2009 Dime or Nickel, and want to sell it, go for it, because I’d do it to, a high mintage coin, sells for $30+ just because somebody has not seen one yet, that sounds good with me, the fools and their money shall be separated!

I couldn't agree more! You're preaching to the choir here!

 

You see, I was hoping the people that want to pay premiums, and that think these will be rare would comment on this thread..
I want to know, why exactly people are dumb enough to shell out $20-$50 on a 09 dime, that they made almost 100 million of??

 

Because, Tmoney, due to the surplus of the coinage in the country and the state of the economy coupled with global warming and the melting ice caps, those dimes and nickels will not see the light of day and will be melted. Probably the only ones you'll ever see are on ebay right now.

 

Bob that almost inspires me to buy some of yours... LOL
But I'm not inspired enough! LOL
Good luck with your sales

 

thats where you clean up

 

I'm just hoping everybody sees what I'm trying to say...
I know most people get it, and I don't want others to learn the hard way, but if they won't listen, they will have to learn that way :kewl:

 

2009 will have some key coins.

 

Yes, I was waiting for ya!

Please, explainify

A KEY coin, can not have 100 million made.
If these are all melted like crazy, than yes, but I don't think that that will happen
They will be lowER mintages, than last year, and that causes you to think that these will be full blown key dates?

 

Spouses for one, also lets see what happens with the Eagles.

As for dimes and nickels, lets see if the mint releases them in the millions (I doubt that even a hundred thousand have hit the streets yet).

 

Spouses yes!
This article has nothing to do with gold bullion! The first sentence of this article, says circulating coins
Shoot, if I could afford those first spouses, I'd have harrisons, and I'd also buy the TYLERS!
The proof ASE's, IMO, might have the lower mintages as well...
When it comes to bullion this year, they will have pretty low mintages

 

You'll never see more dimes than what are on ebay right now:

::waiving hand like Obi Wan Kenobi::

You will bid in a panic as they are a bargain right now on Ebay!

 

MUST...RE...SIST.... LOL!

 

Your Jedi mind tricks don't work on me bobbeth87.

 

Time to be the devil...

So, you're saying the entire Memorial cent series has NO key dates? Has there ever been a complete US coin series without a single key date just because millions or billions were minted? Perhaps the term "key date" has a wider meaning than "your" definition? IMO the key dates are the lowest mintage coins in a series and may not be entirely (or fairly) defined by "rarity" alone.

 

Here is my take on this for what it is worth (nothing). The Puerto Rican Quarter has a very low historic mintage and it looks as though the Guam Quarter will be even less. But, rolls and bags of these are being sold by the mint bigtime. What that means to me is you may not see many of these in actual circulation, but there will never be a shortage for collectors due to the high volume the mint is selling to individuals in the rolls and bags. Prices will not be high because so many were bought by roll and bag.

The nickel and dime also have a low mintage for the year, and they cannot be purchased directly from the mint as the Quarters and Prez Dollars in rolls and bags. So what most collectors will have to depend on is getting them at the banks unless purchased by someone lucky enough to have them for sale. By the time they can be found from bank rolls what kind of condition they will be in as we know will be excellent to very poor.

Rare and hard to find is really not the same. Here is what I would do if I had a few rolls of each. I would sell them as long as the price remained very high. When the price goes down, which it will, I would hold on to the rest. Having a decent amount of these coins in BU condition 2 or 3 years from now would not be a bad thing in my opinion. If I had a roll or two of these that had been in airtites for 2 or 3 years I think I would be very happy.

 

If the 2009 are NOT, at least semi-key dates, why are so many people having so much trouble getting ANY 2009s?

 

09 coins

Thanks for the great info TMoney! I like the way you broke it down! You the man! :>) As a newbie, this is great information and I'll share it with others. Thanks for taking the time to type this all up and share it. - TWRJR (Ted)

 

You may be correct, but I think it is a little early to say the current issue year of coins are key or even semi-key. If you are correct I would definitely say it will be the nickel or dime in BU/MS condition. You didn't specify which coins you were talking about plus I think the start of this thread was about '09 coins being rare. If you were addressing this to me remember I said what my opinion is worth and that was nothing. I collect Memorial Cents and to get a nice '08 was hard to do until about six months or so ago. That certainly didn't make them a semi-key.

 

If you look around this board, a lot of people are having trouble getting ANY 2009 coins. The Lincoln log cabin has been much easier for me than most. I have only gotten 4 "extra" DC quarters and no "extra" Puerto Rico quarters and NO nickels or dimes yet... Note... "extra" meaning besides what went into my quarter album.

PS... 2008s, for me, were FAR easier than the 2009s!
