<p>[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 2146134, member: 21782"]Well, looks like this thread is winding down. We did refine the initial claim to: U.S. Mint issues with a mintage of 100k or less and issues with 100k to 250k (to a lesser extent), that are tied to series, and have been issued within the last 20 years have been good investments, and may well turn out to be the key dates for their respected series. I don’t recall any posts (on point), that disproved this hypothesis.</p><p> </p><p>Oh yes, the profitability of the 2010 P-Pucks was questioned, with some good points. However, if you bought the whole series, many more than just the 2010’s, you did profit. And, there’s the hedge that reduced the affect of silver’s decline. And, most of the issues were a small markup over spot, so you stacked some serious bullion. Yes, their following now is dismal, however, that creates dismal mintages.</p><p> </p><p>There were suggestions that these mint issues should be included in their own series. For example, define all RP’s as a series. Yeah, that could be a series. I’d say, for example, the 2015-p & 2015-w proof dimes have a strong tie to the Roosy series, so they are part of it. You can collect an RP series if you like, but hey, a Roosy is a Roosy.</p><p> </p><p>Some wanted to add commems to the mix and I resisted.
