I suppose this is directed towards the Dime CRH enthusiasts to the greater extent, but how often do you come across 2009 Roosevelt dimes? How about finding one in change? |

Hi guys - I hadn't realized that 2009 denominations would be so difficult to find in circulation until returning to the hobby a couple years ago. I've come across 2009 nickels and cents during CRH events, but relative to the numbers searched, the finds are few and maybe only 4 or so 2009 nickels are quality finds. Cents are a little more frequent and I've been able to find higher grades to put in the albums. From what I read here, my finds are typical.
Regarding dimes, I finally came across one in circulation and it bears the evidence of a journey. I wondered about finding a quality specimen hence the thought and question here; how often do folks come across them in their change or CRH? I suppose I'd order a box to find some better specimens across a few dates, but should I expect to find a 2009 in a box of dimes? I'm not a dime searcher (yet anyway) but before more miles attack the relative few 2009s in circulation, I might have to start thinking about a box of dimes sooner than later.
Thanks for any/all input!

Back in 2009 I started getting these in change and stashes a few away, but I don't really see them anymore. I never really saw any 2009 nickels in circulation, even in 2009, and even the 2009 cents were pretty rare. I don't CRH, though - these are just circulation observations.

Thanks KenKat. The lesson learned (and there for the new collectors) is to remain current in the hobby news. Had I known of the 'relative' lower mintages for the denominations, I would have set a few nice specimens of each aside.
In business, they talk about foresight. I suppose that's true of just about anything. I'm glad you (and others) had it then. I appreciate your comments!

I found my first 2009 nickle in this last box I and working on. Bee a while since I had seen one. Get so few dimes in change, I rarely see any. Did get both P & D and an extra P out of the 2 boxes of dimes I have done and CWRs. I am flooding in 2009 quarters, plenty of 2009 halves, but 2009 pennies seem missing or just in terrible shape. I am sure the easiest to find will be quarters and dollars, but I have yet to make a roll of either.

I set aside about a dozen nice 2009s when I first started to hit circulation. I don't personally see the value in circulated '09 dimes, so I do not actively hunt my change unless I notice silver or a very BU dime. Since mid 2010 I think I have found 2 2009 dimes.

I get a 2009 dime maybe once a year. I've got a couple stored away from CRH in 2011 or so, but they've really dried up.

Out of over $100,000 in dimes searched, I've found not one 2009.
Then again, I'm not much of a date searcher.
No 2009 nickels, but my 11 y.o. daughter has almost an entire roll of 2009 cents she's found.

Thanks everyone. I guess I'm lucky to snag one in my change and it'll have to do until I get around to searching some dime rolls. It is amazing how few there seem to be circulating about.

I have been lucky enough to find in my change, 3 09 P dimes and four 09 P nickels.
