Low Mintage Of 2009 5¢.

I have found 2 2009 D's CRH, in the past few months but no P's.

Although lower mintages than any other 'modern' year, these are not rare coins, will never be rare coins and there are sufficient quantity available to satisfy collector demand forever.

Does anyone really think there are over 39 million collectors who want one of these?

The quoted ebay prices are a result IMO of hype and mis-information - not any actual numismatic reality.

During my active nickel roll searching days I set aside a few rolls of these. I would gladly sell them all at the prices you folks are mentioning.

Perhaps speculators keep them and do not throw them on the market so that prices do not collapse ? I'm not a big fan of modern coins, but news like this makes me go and look for a sample for my collection.

Dear Ghu, you mean the bozo's posting clickbait videos on the rubeTube are


bozo's posting clickbait videos?


I'm shocked.

Shocked.


Shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

A lot of the '09 coinage was made for and released in Puerto Rico. I believe this applies especially to Philly dimes and nickels. No doubt a lot of it is still circulating there.

It's difficult to say how many coins were saved out in BU because there is very little collector demand for most moderns. If few coins are being sold to collectors then the market, if it exists at all, is largely speculative. I would guess some of these coins might be legitimately uncommon in BU condition. Many of the modern nickels are probably much less common but without much demand we can't use price as a good indicator of scarcity. Obviously the '82 and '83 issues are uncommon but other dates are going to prove to be tough as well.

I found one in my last bank nickel box. I thought I got skunked by that box, but are these 2009's worth money now? The only reason why I kept/looked for it is so that I could give it to my 4-year-old daughter, so that she could start a coin collection, too. I went through the whole box again just for that, LOL!

I haven't hunted nickels in probably three months, but before that I was averaging 5-10 '09s per box. Only started keeping them because of the click bait videos and knew that there would be some demand due to that. I sold a couple of rolls on ebay for about $8 each. Still have a couple of rolls, waiting to see if demand goes up.
