<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2829553, member: 68&quot;]......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Worth&quot; is a funny and complex concept. </p><p><br /></p><p>The dime has a &quot;value&quot; of ten cents only because there are millions of these surviving and virtually no demand.&nbsp; But how few will be left when someone does desire to own one for a collection?&nbsp; There are already so few that when one is found it often sparks a question like this.&nbsp; Indeed, look at a handful of dimes and there may be none lacking a mintmark.&nbsp; This is because all the pre-1980 dimes are getting long in the tooth and large numbers have been lost or destroyed.&nbsp; Meanwhile mintages of this coin are continuing to increase since so many are lost each year. </p><p><br /></p><p>This dime isn&#039;t the finest specimen for the date&nbsp; but it&#039;s very representative, typical.&nbsp; It could easily fit in a collection for weeks or months until a nicer one was found. </p><p><br /></p><p>This date accounts for only about 1 coin in nine rolls now days.&nbsp; With effort a low end XF can be located.&nbsp; Finding a pristine Unc is getting pretty difficult since mint set coins of this date are usually tarnished.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
