No. They're only low in comparison to other moderns.
There were 519 million '82-P dimes so so 42 million is tiny in comparison. The former is worth a few dollars in typical unc and carries a huge premium in high grade. So people have a tendency to think this will be worth 12 times as much.
Of course in the long run it matters only how many get saved and the total demand. Few of the '82-P's were saved and this is becoming the long run pretty fast for them.
It'll years till we know how many of the new dimes survive but it's almost certain to be far far more
than the '82-P. >>
Newbie help needed, the PCGS price guide lists the 1982P FB MS67 at $1200, MS66 at $100, the non-FB MS67 at $325 and $45 for MS66. Here is a link to a 1982 P set, all listed at MS70, slabbed by SGS with a buy it now price of $44.95. I know the PCGS price guide is high, but is SGS grading that bad that something they say is a MS70, would not even come close to a PCGS MS66?
This thread is ten years old now, and I think it’s interesting to take a look back and see how things have played out in the last decade (setting aside price fluctuations and discussions about “what will these be worth in 50 years,” etc). Purely from a numismatic standpoint, I don’t think anyone can reasonably argue that 2009 nickels, in particular, aren’t relatively rare in circulation.
In the last couple of months, I’ve gone coin roll hunting in $300 worth of nickels and found ONE 2009 D. In that same sample, I found one 1935 Buffalo. Of course there were lots of pre-1960 Jeffs, a War Nickel, and few others worth keeping.
1/6000 = .017%
But I compare the Buffalo to the '09 specifically to show that a coin that’s been in circulation for only a decade is seemingly as difficult to find as one that’s almost 90 years old – at some point we’d have to call that scarce.
I’m curious today how often others are finding 09 Nickels while CRH?
I did a little bit of coin roll searching around 2010 to 2011. In the $400 face value of nickels that I looked through, I found exactly one 2009 nickel. I didn't find any Buffalo Nickels. There were a number of pre-1960 coins and a couple War nickels.
Between 2005 and 2009 the Mint Uncirculated sets were “Burnished”. All the regular uncirculated coins were available in bulk (rolls & bags) through various Mint offerings. All, but the dime. During that period, a normal uncirculated Roosevelt dime coin could only be obtained in circulation. In 2009, this oxymoron created a run on lower mintage 2009 uncirculated Roosevelt dime rolls that went for as high as $25.00 for a “P” or “D” roll. This might suggest why the coins are artificially scarce in circulation. There are probably more tied up in roll hoards that actually ever calculated.
Well, "Extremely Low Mintage" is a relative term. There are an awful lot of coins I can't find in change that are readily available by the BU rolls or bags relatively cheap and fast online. How many or nice a one does one want?
I think I have the mint sets.... It was around that time that I stopped buying them....That being said, looking at a ten year old thread.. It would seem from the responses so far, that they are scarce in circulation, but still available in rolls that people saved. Cheers, RickO

They sure are hard to find but I think getting all 5 W mint quarters will be harder to find.
Last I looked there were all sorts of eBay listings for 2009 dime rolls and singles.
May be rare in the mintages, but not on eBay.
Later, Paul.
I would say you simply don't see these coins.
Glad I'm not the only one!

They're all (most) still sitting in a ware house vault somewhere because they'd (US Mint) really like you to buy their mint sets.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
