<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 618892, member: 68&quot;]Not necessarily silver, just old and in demand.&nbsp; Imagine the&nbsp; price that first dime would have brought if it were the only available date of a large cent!&nbsp; Even if the collectors knew there were 46,000,000 in storage that will probably come available it would have brought a great deal more than $50.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Twelve&nbsp; years ago there probably weren&#039;t a hundred serious collectors of clad dimes.&nbsp; Today it appears we&#039;re up to around 25,000 based on prices.&nbsp; Perhaps it will peak soon but I seriously doubt it.&nbsp; There is a very large pool of potential new collectors and as people get older they long for mementos of their youth.&nbsp; We have two generations now of people who grew up with nothing but clad and base metal for circulation.&nbsp; I believe demand will continue to grow for at least another generation and that it will have to be met with the apparent supply because there aren&#039;t old collections and hoards of these as there have been with all other US coins to one degree or another.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
