1996-W Roosevelt Dime - What Would You Do?

I know I have mentioned it before in another thread on here but a few years ago I went on a buying spree and bought quite a few of these mint sets with the W dime in them. I think I ended up with something like 30 or 40 sets of them before I got burnt out on them. I do this allot when I get my sights set on something my OCD kicks in and before I know it I am swamped with that particular item. That being said I never sent any in to be graded, I still have all of them in the sets

I like your reasoning.

That does makes sense but the mintage is a little on the high side. Only time will tell.

I'm not implying that it's value is going to triple in 5 years or anything like that, but it will go up considerably if it becomes a part of the set that everyone needs to complete.

Keep in mind, we're talking about "change in demand." The coin already has a certain value at it's present level of demand and if that changes, so will it's value. The reason for this and the reason it's different than the 50-D, is because the 50-D never had a change in demand. All those coins were hoarded from the get go. Many people don't even know the 96-W exists. All of them are in the hands of dealers. The 50D never went up in value because nobody ever needed to buy one (back in the day).

1.4 million is large enough to limit this coin from ever being really expensive. You could probably pick it up in average UNC condition for about $10. If Dansco includes holes for it in every album, I see an immediate jump to about $15. I also see a steady rise after that.
