Reference is directed to the mintage of dimes from 2008 through 2012. These years have individual mintage of less that 1 million coins.
Since 2008 I have been searching for dimes within the annual parameters. When I started I was thinking that at a future point they might be worth something (especially if they were in good condition. I have more that 20 rolls of the early years (not 2009).
So right now I'm thinking that I may have overdone it.
Any thoughts.

Since I started a for the heck of it circulation set about a year ago, I've yet to find an '09. The '08s took a while too. Not sure what that means but I'll probably hang on to any '09s I come across.

I don't save rolls of anything.
I get a proof set, silver proof set and a mint set.
Then fill my albums and that's enough of each coin for my fancy.
If I did save rolls of anything I would probably choose a roll of 2009.

When the floor collapses under the weight of your collection. That's when you have enough.

Where are you getting your mintage figures from?
Lowest mintage was nearly 50 million in 2009 which is a long way above "less than one million".

I think what GR means is that these years have mintages of less than one Billion--which is true.

I'm confused  Are you asking why we need 1 billion dimes a year? Or are you asking if you should save a dime with a mintage under 1 billion? Or are you asking how many silver dimes is enough? |

You can never have enough dimes.

I have 45 rolls of BU 1963 D and 5 rolls of BU 1964 D all were picked up in the year they were made and then packed away.

Unlike silver coins, clad coins have no inherent value. In fact they lose their value over time due to inflation. Although in a rare case a roll might be worth saving, overall its probably a loss to do so. I am speaking from the experience of inheriting annual date rolls saved in the 70s and 80s. All of it is worth a lot less than it was. How much better it would have been to use to buy silver back then instead. No value would have been lost.

When is enough dimes enough? When you have all of them of course.

Dimes are very small and take up very little room. At least until you have millions of them. In my opinion, you can never have too many dimes!

When I started my little dime project I started with the '09's and then got carried away with the thought and had initially first encountered almost nothing for '10 - '13 and started squirreling away those also. Then I was reminded somehow of a posting by a poster either named cladking or something close to that saying that the clad coins (by their very nature) do not last in good collectible condition. So I added them to my search.
The lesson that I learned was that something that starts off with good intentions can get you in way over your head. I may not have a lot of dimes (better than 5 boxes) but between all my good ideas (and storing them) the house does seem to have a definite slight lean to it. Perhaps I'll stop when the house falls over to the left. Since I don't have a basement I don't think the floor will give way.
