Message:: [QUOTE="John77, post: 2463879, member: 79277"]What actually got me back into CRH ironically was the fact I was having all kinds of trouble finding 2009 dated coins in circulation... As we all know now, the 2009 P & D nickels and dimes are difficult to find in circulation. In the case of the 2009-P nickel, I have found exactly 3 in 4 1/2 months of searching. One thing I set out to do early on was to complete a set of modern quarters from 1999 to present. It's been very chllenging. Thanks to a lot of searching, I have found all but one coin (2009-P Northern Mariana Islands). Most of the Quarters dated 2009-2012 are difficult to find. Why? The mintages are low. In many cases, fewer than 50 million coins were made. Here are the under 50M coins: 2009-P Guam 45M2009-D Guam 42.6M2009-P American Samoa 42.6M2009-D American Samoa 39.6M2009-P US Virgin Islands 41M2009-D US Virgin Islands 41M2009-P North Mariana Islands 35.2M*2009-D North Mariana Islands 37.6M2010-P Arkansas 35.6M2010-D Arkansas 34M2010-P Wyoming 33.6M2010-D Wyoming 34.8M2010-P California 35.2M2010-D California 34.8M2010-P Arizona 34.8M2010-D Arizona 35.4M2010-P Oregon 34.4M2010-D Oregon 34.4M2011-P Pennsylvania 30.8M2011-D Pennsylvania 30.4M2011-P Montana 30.4M2011-D Montana 31.2M2011-P Washington 30.4M2011-D Washington 30.6M2011-P Mississippi 30.8M2011-D Mississippi 33.4M2012-P Puerto Rico 25.8M2012-D Puerto Rico 25M2012-P New Mexico 22M2012-D New Mexico 22M2012-P Maine 24.8M2012-D Maine 21.6M2012-P Hawaii 46.2M When you consider that prior to these coins, every coin produced since 1972 (except the 2008-D Oklahoma quarter at 194.6M) had a mintage of at least 213.8M, you can see why these coins are so difficult to find. I've been putting all of the above away... have any of the rest of you been doing the same?[/QUOTE]
