<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 7913004, member: 68"]I believe the '78 dime is one of the better dates. It had a high mintage so almost none were saved. Most were poorly made and ugly anyway. In the mint set it isn't too bad with about 60% of them being nice and choice. But most of these ;78 dimes from mint sets are gone now because the sets were dismantled to get the dollars, halfs, and cents. Of the few sets remaining about 75% of the dimes are tarnished. A lot of these tarnished coins can still be saved but it's only about 75% and it must be done now or the percentage drops. Of course it won't be done now because people don't care about them. </p><p><br /></p><p>For every nice choice '78 dime there are ten nice choice '50-D nickels. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course there are still more nice choice '78 dimes than demand so they list at about 12c each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
