<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 99701, member: 68&quot;]This really applies to virtuall all the clad dime rolls; they just aren&#039;t out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most &quot;common&quot; is the 1965, then some of the late &#039;90&#039;s and more recent ones.&nbsp; After that it would be the &#039;66, &#039;67, &#039;70-D, &#039;68, &#039;70, &#039;79, &#039;78-D, &#039;68-D, &#039;78, &#039;74, early &#039;80&#039;s, &#039;72-D, ...</p><p><br /></p><p>I could go on with the estimate but the point is that original rolls of all of them except the &#039;65, &#039;66 and maybe a few late dates are just not found.&nbsp; They tend to be two or three times more common than the quarters but the typical coin shop won&#039;t have any.&nbsp; You will see rolls advertised more often but these are usually mint set rolls especially where they are the &quot;impossible&quot; dates like &#039;69 or &#039;73.&nbsp; You&#039;ll note many of the rolls available are of dates where it&#039;s highly profitable to bust up mint sets.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The low prices of original rolls (and mint set rolls) is caused by a near total absence of demand.&nbsp; This situation will not last indefinitely simply because mint sets will not last forever.&nbsp; When they are no longer readily available it will be necessary to seek these coins in other forms and then it will become apparent just how few have been set aside over the generations.&nbsp; There are not vast numbers of singles, rolls, bags, and mint sets just waiting for demand to materialize.&nbsp; When the mint sets are consumed there will be no ready source for these coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1982-P roll is actually one of the more common rolls since it was known there would be no mint sets this year and collectors set more aside.&nbsp; Still it bids at $130 since there are no mint sets to tap.&nbsp; There will emerge many scarcities especially among the varieties which don&#039;t appear in mint sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
