    Should 2009 and 2010 be kept due to future collecting?

    everyone put away 2009 and 2010 dimes in box quantity- the 2007's may turn out to be the key- collectors added satins to their sets and no one put away rolls. Try to find a roll of 2007's on eBay- there may be 1 a month- and no boxes

    I probably get a 2010 about 1 out of every 5 times I get dimes in change maybe a little more, but I don't use cash as much as I should so that is actually pretty common for me.

    when you get one ask the cleck to sell you a roll of dimes- it is a good bet that a bu roll will be a cool thing to have.

    I'm thinking that the 2009 P's & D's must be keepers since I've yet to get one out of circulation.

    I got a 50 roll brick of 1955s dimes (mintage: 18,510,000). If PMs weren't in the stratisphere, they wouldn't be worth squat. Coins of the mid-late 50's and early 60's were hoarded in pretty large numbers. I suspect the same is true with these modern "rarities".

    It's usually a good idea to have replacement rolls handy as a swap. The reason they have the rolls in the first place is to make change...not to sell.

    I paid between $17-$26/roll for some rolls of 2009 P's & D's dimes a while back. I got some of the 2009 nickels, but forget what I paid (it wasn't that much). I know it must seem incredibly stupid, but there's one (near "zero" probability) scenario where it might not be.

    Congress could do a sweeping overhaul of US coinage to create higher denominated coins and eliminate the penny, nickel, and dime (the quarter now has the purchasing power of the 1964 cent). If that ever happened, they would likely not release any more obsolete coins and destroy what they have.

    That scenario (as amazingly unlikely as it might seem) would be the one scenario that could reduce these coins' population and make them collectible.
     
  20. The one that I am keeping is the 1996W (mintage: 1,457,000) found only in mint sets. TC
