I wonder if the 2015-W and Reverse Proof Roosevelt dimes will part of the complete set since they are still monetized dimes? With a mintage of 75,000 would these would be considered the "key date" issues? Edited by oih82w8

If "regular" proof dimes are considered part of the set, I think it would be difficult to argue that these pieces are not.

I suppose it depends on what you consider a full set. For instance, some may argue the 1994-P matte proof Jefferson nickel is part of the nickel set while others argue it's not. Regardless, if the dimes are included in the set when buying or selling, I'm sure the set would bring in more than one without them. |

I think the must important thing is whether albums makers include the holes for it. I doubt they will since I don't even have a 1996 w dime in my year old new whitman album. That creates a lot of demand for a set.
I would argue that the 1996 w dime being in mint sets deserve a place in a collection more then a limited edition proofs set. It just strays way too much into NCLT for me, now if it was included in the normal years proof set I would think they were more important.
I still think people will collect them but most likely on their own instead of a part of a roosevelt. "set"

if you want a complete mintmark / date set, you need the 2015 W proof since there is no other w mint marked dime for that year

Good points to ponder on.
I should have stated "a key date" instead of "the key date"

Once upon a time, a set was P,D & S, with the S going 'bye bye' after 1955.

Assuming that you include proofs in your set, these are absolutely parts of a set. Basically, I think of anything other than errors as part of a set. If the mint intentionally made it and can provide or estimate mintage figures, then it's part of the set. For me, this includes varieties such as the above mentioned 1994-P matte proof Jefferson. The mint intended to make this coin and provided exact mintage figures. I even go so far as to include coins such as the 2000-P Sacagawea Cheerios dollar. It wasn't "discovered" by collectors until 2005, although the mint knew about it all along. The mintage was only up to 5,500, but very few have actually been found resulting in a current market price of $7,000 or so. The reason I include it is because the mint intentionally made a change to the die (pictured below). I don't include errors such as when the mint fails to put edge lettering on a Sacagawea dollar or when they failed to put a mint mark on some 1982-P Roosevelt dimes (pictured below).   |

These dimes will be part of MY set, whether or not my album has a hole for it. Honestly they'll likely stay in the OGP regardless, and will be noted as such in a spreadsheet / tracker somewhere...

 I have no plan to break this OGP set. |
