<p>[QUOTE="TopcatCoin, post: 2165738, member: 22746"]Is there any reasonable way to find out how many people really collect Roosevelt dimes, Sacagawea dollars, Presidential dollars, etc.? When I say really collect, I mean must have or would like to have one of every date/type for their collection. I remember when Mike Mezak said 50 million people collect state quarters. I think he was counting anyone who ever had one in their possession...lol. For example, I have a Dansco with all Prez dollars to date that my son (who has now lost interest) and I have put together. I do not consider myself a Prez dollar collector and will not be upset if I do not get the RP Prez dollars minted this year. Are there really 75,000 Roosevelt dime enthusiasts out there? I was thinking maybe 5,000 +/- 2,500 true collectors. The bulk of the 75,000 MOD sets were likely purchased by flippers and dealers followed by general modern US Mint coin collectors/speculators and then finally the true Roosevelt dime aficionados. I truly believe that 75,000 was way too high of a mintage for these. We will all see what future demand is, but I am skeptical that these will ever bring moon money (at least how I define moon money). TC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
