Hey, wait, I've seen this before. You're just waiting for everybody else to put theirs in the garbage, right?

 

He's not dumb.

 

Oh where, oh where is @statequarterguy ? I don't typically call other posters out like this, but in this instance, we were having a civil discussion about the merits of the issue and he proceeded to attack us personally and called me and several others "trolls." I believe we are owed an apology along with an acknowledgement that we were (apparently) correct in our contentions.

 

And just think how many did they mint of the 1996w ,

 

b/c I was told it is "the coin of the century"...

 

Fool born every moment

 

Nahhh...most will be scrapped for its silver contain...

 

APPOLOGIZE??? LOL. They're selling right now on eBay for $80, only because the mint came out with the lower mintage president rp sets. I'm sitting on more than a few MoD sets (about half 70's), and glad I have them. However you slice it, these dimes will be two low mintage keys to the series. Kinda like the 1995-w ASE is for the series.

 

Repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.

The "magical" reverse proof dime regularly sells for $28-35 graded 69 by PCGS and NGC. It's not the coin of the century, it's not rare, and it's not going to make anyone rich. The jury may have been out in May-August of 2015, but the verdict is now back. It's a flop, guilty as charged, move on to the next junk issue of the US Mint.

 

Isn't a century 100 years? Still seems to be quite a few years left for this issue to turn around.

 

How long will they be making coins?

 

hello?

 

BAHAHAHAHA.....it's the Comedy Channel.

 

I think the Truman coin and chronicles set is a much better investment. At 17.000 is going to go up and up.

 

I think I will let you and @statequarterguy duke it out on this one. I was sure he was adamant that the Roosevelt was going to be the "coin" of the century.

 

I have 3 of the dimes. 2 pcgs 69 and 1 70 Going to keep them but, I still feel the Truman CC is a much better investment.

 

It may be junk to many of you folks, but some of us like to collect it. I'll leave it at that and say no more...........

 

statequarterguy battled valiantly for months, never to waiver from his convictions. Much like this guy.

Second world war intelligence officer, stayed holed up in Philippine jungle for 30 years until he was coaxed out in 1974.

Getting a '404' error........You mean like all those Japs that were discovered on islands in the Pacific years after (the Second World War) ended? Fellows who refused to give up? Honor is among the Japanese, and most notable indeed. It's just that they didn't treat prisoner of war folks very nicely. Didn't fit into their credo. Western culture was most foreign to them......but not to Yamamoto. They should have listened to him because he understood American culture.
