<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 585086, member: 8959&quot;]Like kanga says, it seems the 1809 dime is another coin where the rarity/scarcity is not matched by the price. </p><p>This is a little bit like the 1844 vs the 1846 dime: the 1844 is plentiful as everybody knows, and vastly overpriced (the &#039;Orphan Annie&#039; story and all that). The 1846 on the other hand is truly scarce, but books the same as the 1844 in most guides. There are many other such examples probably.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>However, it seems the 1809 is catching up rapidly in popularity: somebody in the C.U forum was referring to the frantic search by collectors seeking this coin as &#039;1809 Dime Hysteria&#039;......</p><p>I think i&#039;ll hold onto my G+ sample until the prices skyrocket, and then i&#039;ll retire![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
