2009 D

Good find, I haven't seen any '09 dimes or nickels

Hey There,
First post, but thought I could add to the conversation. I just bought a bank box of 2009 D dimes for $375. I am hopeful that the value of them will go up in the years to come based on the low relative mintage in 2009. You might be thinking that I got ripped off, and maybe I did, but my exposure to this investment is only $125. I have hardly the credentials to say with any authority that it is a good investment, but the next few years or decades will let me know. What do you guys think?

Where should one look for 2010 nickels?

Thanks, Wheezydog, and I appreciate the welcome. Great info, learning everyday as I am new to the numismatic side of things. Mostly an investor/collector of silver bullion (bars, ASE's, maples, etc.) but trying to diversify.

I also just found this
07/15/2010 2010 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set®
07/22/2010 2010 United States Mint Proof Set®
Scheduled release dates by US Mint
http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...alogId=10001

According to US mint website:

"The Coin Production figures represent all of the "circulating" coins produced by the United States Mint, including the coins sold through the numismatic bags & rolls program. These numbers do not include the "proof" or "uncirculated" quality (i.e. UNC sets) coins produced by the Mint."

So The 1.68 million 2010 nickels minted should be for circulation and will probably be out by this time next year.

My mother just got a 2009 P dime in change in Maryland and is holding it for me. I haven't seen one yet in North Carolina.

It was mid May last year, when the first 2009 nickel sold on ebay for $102.50. That was when I started roll searching. I have now searched 109,000 nickels and still have not found a 2009. I believe most of them are still sitting in the federal reserve banks. There seems to be just a trickle of them being released. I believe that the mint will continue making nickels for 2010, but they won't be released until the 2009's are gone.

2009-D dime bonanza at local pizza parlor tonight.

I deliver pizza a couple nights a week [this job is helping survive the recession as an out-of-work architect] for a local pizza chain.
Tonight when I paid for a coke at the register, I received a 2009-D dime in my change. Being really happy with the find, I wrapped it up in receipt paper and placed it in my back pocket, separated from the rest of my change. At the end of the night when I turned in my delivery money, I asked the manager if there were anymore 2009-D dimes inside the register. Sure enough, they started out the day with an entire roll.

I was able to buy $3 dollars worth at the end of the night. What a find. I am going to search through them to find the dime with the least amount of bagmarks and place it in my album. The rest I will protect against the elements and keep for awhile in hopes that the value goes up.
