<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 704419, member: 13650&quot;]I put together a mostly BU set of just business P&#039;s and D&#039;s from 64- 2009 including the SMS ones. I never had a desire to collect all the silver proofs. The Kennedy halves are nice but they aren&#039;t at the top of my collecting list. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One interesting thing about all the recent ones not issued for circulation is the low mintages. The lowest of probably anything the mint is producing. In 2008 they made 1.7 million P&#039;s and 1.7 million D&#039;s. 3.4 million TOTAL! That&#039;s it.&nbsp;&nbsp; As in if 2 million people in the world desired to own a complete Kennedy set, more than 300k would be out of luck!!</p><p>&nbsp;(Weren&#039;t people getting excited over there being only 36 million nickels minted in 2009?) </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; While there should never be a shortage of high grade examples since they aren&#039;t circulating, don&#039;t expect people to be giving them away down the road. These may have more collector value some day than the older, higher mintage ones.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These newer ones will definitely be worth keeping an eye on. Just try buying BU examples from the 80s and 90s with much higher mintage figures. You can&#039;t get 2009 Kennedys at face value right now. In 10 years, 5-10 bucks a pair wouldn&#039;t surprise me at all. The sellers hoarding all the rolls will site their low mintages of course.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s much easier to keep up with them as they come out and at least pay close to face. Rolls from the mint are 0.82 cents per coin plus shipping. As cheap as they&#039;ll ever be for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
