<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 85694, member: 68"]I'd strongly recommend just buying the mint sets. The chances of getting nice original coins that haven't been picked over are much higher and you save very little money by not getting the whole set. While this coin is a very good bet, it should be remembered that the attrition on it is paltry compared to the attrition on the other dimes in this set. The quality is excellent and there will be thousands of nice choice examples well into the future. The other clad dimes though are still being mostly ignored and used up in circulation. It's entirely possible that the P or D mints could actually exceed it in the future. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the 1982-NMM dime. Only about 10,000 of these were believed to have been released to circulation while there were hundreds of millions of the regular P mark coins. Yet today in very high grade the P mark can actually exceed the value of the NMM. It was difficult to find back in 1982 but it was a far sight cheaper to acquire. You could pick up the NMM for $100 or for 10c you could pick up a nice P mint at most any bank in the country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
