<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1912127, member: 307&quot;]Don&#039;t forget the Mint sealed bags, cladking. many of the gem coins from 82 and 83 came from original Mint sealed bags, most of which have been opened and no longer exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also disagree that the low mintages of the 2009 coins will at any time be rare. They are hoarded worse than the 50-D nickels and we all know that story. In the case of Roosevelt Dimes, the lowest mintage coin is the 1955 from Philadelphia, but the key coin is the 1949-S. This example illustrates that there is more than mintage numbers to a key coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also urge you to look at the 1955 Philly dime and ask, what is the mintage of this coin in comparison to the mintage of the 2009 Dimes and Nickels? The answer is that there are at least 3 times as many of the 2009s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Try finding a 1955 Philly Dime. It&#039;s easy because they&#039;re not rare. The 2009s are more than 3 times less rare. They are just in hiding (in hoarders hands) at the moment. They&#039;ll surface given some time and they won&#039;t be scarce, let alone rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
