[QUOTE="cladking, post: 66584, member: 68"]There really aren't any hordes of '96-W dimes. Thereare probably a few accumulations of up to 1,000 pieces but this isn't like the '50-D nickel where some people went to the fed and bought large percentages of the mintage. They were distributed mostly in lots of "5" and many of these have already been broken up. Speedy had a great suggestion that you search "investment" before you consider buying any coin as speculation and it's certainly true no one can predict the future. I personally like the chances of this coin escalating in price as the years go buy and have bought some '96 mint sets for this reason.

The '50-D nickel had a much higher mintage and got as high as about $150 in today's money and there were fewer collectors in those days. The clad dimes make a great set which can sell themselves and there are billions of little advertisements in circulation for this coin.
