Message:: [QUOTE="cladking, post: 618809, member: 68"] It's simply too early to know.  There's a huge inflow of coin to the FED.  When this turns around and these are released it remains to be seen if they are set aside or not.  Of course this assumes they are ever released.  There's every possibility that the new economy is not going to need 40 billion dimes for many years and the government will melt them rather than store them.  The dollar could be impacted enough by inflation before these are released that small units of it are not even used.  40 billion dimes  will make a large amount of good stainless steel.  I certainly agree that if these are all saved in unc that they aren't likely to attract much interest in the future.  Look at it this way; there aren't even 200,000 '82-P dimes in unc and they bring only a few dollars each.  There aren't even 10,000 nice choice well struck examples and they bring little premium.  Unless the demand for clad coins grows these mintages might simply swamp it.[/QUOTE]
