harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 12:51 pm Does anybody have any information about estimated mintage of the 1982 no P business strike dime? Cheryypickers Guide mentions a weak 2 and strong 2 varieties. I don't recall seeeing any recently at the local coin shows. None in auctions on ebay, just 2 BIN's for big $$$ TIA Harvey Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 3:05 pm I don't know the mintage, but the "weak strike" and "strong strike" coins were struck by the same die pair. Either the ram pressure or the minimum die clearance fluctuated during the press run, which is nothing unusual. The weak strike population seems to be smaller. Error coin writer and researcher.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 3:11 pm Just chiming in...not sure about the reliability of the source. The first pieces to show up were discovered in Sandusky, Ohio, on 1/26/83. Several more were found on 1/29/83, also in Sandusky. During the ensuing months, a total of 8,000-10,000 pieces showed up, all traceable to a shipment sent to a Sandusky amusement park. In August 1983, about 5,000 additional pieces showed up in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. Since then, no other release points have surfaced. The official production estimate is 14,000-15,000 coins. This makes the 1982 No "P" dime the lowest mintage regular production dime in more than 100 years! Since almost all known pieces are EF or better, there isn't a lot of pricing difference at this time, except for higher MS and "Full Band" specimens. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Coin-Col...ror-coin.htm Report this Post to the Staff
harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 8:49 pm Mintage of the 1955 double die cent is about 24,000 I think that this coin is EXTREMELY undervalued if the mintage is about 14,000. Thanks to all that replied. Report this Post to the Staff
harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 9:03 pm The weaker 2 variety sounds like its just a later die state as the die deteriorated. Very common occurance on Bust Halves. My 1982 no P NGC MS63 piece has a slight weakness on the base of the 2 but the number and the rims are complete. Report this Post to the Staff
