Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 904529, member: 18157"]I live in the DC area and have come across a few "in the wild"...but not many. The 1955 series (P,D,S) Roosevelt dimes are a great example of hoarding. There were only between 12-18 million of each issue minted, but due to hoarding, they're worth about the same as dimes issued with a mintages 10x greater. The 2009 "zinc" cents won't be worth spit for sometime to come.  The 95% copper cents are a different issue. Between all the various proof sets, there will be around 2,000,000 of the proof 95% copper cents minted.  Since the 95% copper Unc (satin proof) cents are only issued in the mint sets, they may see sales of less than 800,000. Add that to the fact that the Mint was having trouble with these cents prematurely tarnishing, you may see billiant red specimens selling at a premium in the "not-too-distant" future. (jmho)[/QUOTE]
