Reverse proof Roosevelt dime most significant coin of century.

That's exactly what I was thinking , and most stop at '64 . Look at early commemoratives . The Isabella quarter has like 26,000 , not rare at all . I think there a lot more early commem collectors and if you want an Isabella you will find one within a day or two . These are just over hyped IMHO .

So, are collectors holding these sets and not flipping them now? Only 25 ads on eBay, I expected more.

 

The younger generation doesn't stop at 64, look at the 1996-w.

 

Like the saying ...there is one born every minute!

 

Lots of speculation here. I wonder if I'm the only guy who bought one just because I think its neat and wanted it for my collection. I know, I know, odd concept. But truthfully, you could offer me $5000 for mine today and you wouldn't get it.

 

Did you see listing by seller who has them in hand. He says he bought them at the DC store. I posted link in US Coin Forum thread along with a Craiglist listing similar situation.

 

Oh really?

 

I only bought 1 set and plan to keep them, but if someone offered me $5K I'd make the sacrifice and give up my set.

 

this guy has them IN HAND http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-March-...728?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a5c4def8
still not sold out at the mint! http://catalog.usmint.gov/2015-marc...t-DM5.html?cm_sp=HPA1-_-2015_mod_set-_-050415

 

Cheaper in hand sets on Craigslist. Read the listings. Some were apparently able to buy directly from the DC store.

This guy is selling them for $279.95 EACH and he's making you pay $5.95 for shipping. WOW

With 3 sold in the last 24 hours - and these are ALL pre-sales! Next time I'm buying 5 instead of the 2 I ordered.

 

I saw that and clicked the link - must be nice to have them first.

 

How are they going to be the keys? I keep hearing this. What about the 1950 and 1951 proof issues? They are each minted at less than 60,000. No one really cares about these so why should should anyone care about these reverse proofs in a few months or years?

 

As a young guy I prefer the older coins. But that's just me. I personally don't like the Dime design so I would never buy one of these anyways.

 

Why would anyone pay $279.95 when the seller with sets in hand has them for $195.95? Then again, why not just order from the Mint like everyone else?

 

..I was going to offer you $4k, oh well..

 

Monster profits for you dealers

 

Good point. But 5,000? Come on, surely you mean 200 or something

 

Because mintage isn't everything. These 2 dimes are many times more unique than 1950 & 1951 proofs and very low mintage.

 

I also predict an upswing in the sales of those 3 early proofs as well now that these are out. Should rekindle interest in anyone looking for Roosies.
