cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 10:08 am Quote: Hard to believe that coin is 22 years old this year and is still relatively cheap! I used to see rolls of them now and then but they've kinda dried up the last few years. They are sorta like 50-D nickels in that the entire mintage was gobbled up by speculators and they are still waiting for the market to take off---- someday it might! I have a few of these so might be considered a "speculator". I like them all because the quality of them is very high and almost none are ugly but I especially like the very high grade examples with creamy surfaces and solid strikes. Most of the low mintage coins made since 1931 have all ended up in the hands of just a very few people and this certainly applies to the '50-D 5c. These individuals simply acquired as many of the coins at time of issue as they could and ended up with many thousands, and in some cases hundreds of thousands acquired for face value or close to it. But the '96-W is different because it virtually passed under the radar and was very widely distributed. Few people acquired more than five examples at issue and these cost significantly more than ten cents each. That makes this issue virtually unique in terms of its market; it is a low mintage modern with no large hoards hanging over the market. These hoards work to suppress price increases because owners always sell into strength. Every time the price starts higher there is massive selling and the apparent supply swamps the new demand. This won't happen with this issue. The reason for the low price is simply because so few people collect clad dimes. But this is changing and at some point new demand will simply force existing holders to sell their coins. I think the future is very bright for this coin. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 10:22 am People tend to assume attrition on moderns is almost nonexistent but the reality is even the valuable moderns experience a lot more attrition than older coins. There's very little chance an old BU 2c piece will get into circulation but there are countless ways a '96-W 10c can. The 2c piece is far more likely to sit safe in a safety deposit box when the coin shop floods, burns down, or is robbed. Modern coins are more likely to be exposed to conditions that will tarnish then as well. I haven't heard of many of these in circulation but there have been a couple of reports. I tend to believe most such reports. Frankly I'd be surprised if more than about 1.3 million of the 1.5 million mintage survives and only 95% of these are still pristine. But a large percentage are Gem (~60%) so don't pay a premium unless the coin is very high grade (like the one above). Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
