<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 2155861, member: 13650&quot;]Back on page 7 or so, people were arguing about why the 1916-D was so sought after but I never saw the real reason presented for the premiums.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The real reason, IMO, would be that a lot of people collect Merc dime sets and that is the low mintage key to completing that set.&nbsp; Also that not many were saved from circulation.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; A 2015 commem, while low mintage, does not have the same implications to the series as a 16-D so it&#039;s difficult for me to see much correlation between the two.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is also, as usual, going to be an excess of options available to collect from the US mint in 2015, compared to what came out in 1916.&nbsp; &nbsp; On the flip side, there are a lot more people in existence now and far more collectors with the dollars to drive a set like this up.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; That said, this is an interesting low mintage set commemorating something somewhat more interesting than many past offerings.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s got to be more popular than the Louise Braille offering. lol&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I choose to pass on most new stuff coming out but this set kind of grabbed me.&nbsp; Unfortunately I missed out on the initial offering and am left looking for one on the secondary market now.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m curious to see how these settle out long term.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
