I wasn't aware the Mint placed a preproduction limit on mint sets...or proof sets for that matter. I thought they kept making them until the time...
I swear Doug...you're about the biggest "buzz kill" I've ever met! :goof: Odds are you're right...but just for edited giggles (if I win the...
It would s#ck if you tried to put together a counterfeit collection and someone sold you a real one! :eek:
Nice write-up! I guess we'll all have to collect Roosevelt Dimes...not even the Chinese are crazy enough to counterfeit them!

I wanted to start collecting from the beginning and see how many they were gonna make. However, I learned that we can't buy these coins directly...

For me it's been pretty much hit or miss. I get lucky sometimes, but most times the rolls I get (even the ones that are "supposedly" OBW rolls)...
I have Cherrypicker's, but I'm on travel and don't have access. Cherrypicker's deals more with RPMs and DD's. I don't recall seeing die crack...
If you're not interested in the nickels or dimes...I'll take 'em. :D
My Brother-in-Law first stores his non-slabbed coins in appropriate containers (airtights, tubes, etc.), then shrink wraps them. He seems pleased...
