Title: Proof Dimes
Post by: Triggersmob on July 02, 2015, 09:05:27 PM

Some lovely proof Dimes have been added to my collection,
thanks to Sir StacksALot. Here's an example of them.
Sorry that you don't really get the proof look of them
with the method of photography that I use.
Only need a few more now to complete the full
Roosevelt set.

What do you need? I just happen to have several proof Roosevelt"s I received in a trade for Proof Jefferson's a few years back. Never did really get into the Roosevelt's.

I just need 2012 S and 2013 S in silver and all 4 coins for 2015.  :)

Can't help. I think the ones I have stop in 2008 or 2009. Sorry. I could probably pick some pretty nice 2015 out of circulation if you would like that.

Thanks Dave, but leave it now as Jim is still finding coins for me, so I'll see what he comes up with.
Cheers anyway. :)
If there are any coins you need from Aus though, let me know.

The 2012 S Silver and the 2013 S Silver proof sets had a very low mintage.  To put it in perspective, here is a list of the silver proof mintage numbers that I pulled from a website:

Silver Proof Set Mintage

1976   3,998,621
1992   1,009,586
1993   570,213
1994   636,009
1995   549,878
1996   623,655
1997   605,473
1998   638,134
1999   804,565
2000   965,421
2001   889,697
2002   892,229
2003   1,125,755
2004   1,175,934
2005   1,069,679
2006   1,054,008
2007   875,050
2008   763,887
2009   697,365
2010   585,401
2011   574,175
2012   395,443
2013   419,720


The numbers dropped off quite a bit in 2012, and 2013 is not too far behind.  I have seen them for sale at a few coin shows and shops, but they are usually more than $20 for just one proof dime.  I have been holding out for a better price to grab them for Steve, and I think a few better priced ones will fall through the cracks eventually.  All of the proof stuff from 2012 is relatively expensive compared to the other years.

Thanks for the list Jim.
I didn't realise the mintages was quite that low for 2012 and 2013.
