March of Dimes mintage

If the March of Dimes set is being limited to 75,000, does that mean the Roosevelt Dimes in the set are the lowest mintage for regular issue dimes since the 1894-S?

The two dimes in the March of Dimes set are proofs as well, one regular proof and one reverse proof, so I would guess that some would say those aren't "regular issue" anyways, but then again, neither was the 1894-S.

As noted above, probably not. Low mintage dimes? You betcha and the first reverse proof dime ever to boot.
At $60 a pop they'll make for great birthday/Christmas gifts as well.
<< <i>I think that its not an apples to apples comparison to compare coins struck 50 - 100 years ago and released into commerce to modern coins that will be virtually 100% saved. For the 1916-D dime, mintage was 264,000. According to Coin Facts, the estimated survivors is 10,000. I'd like to know if that 10,000 coin estimate includes only gradable coins or excludes problem and damaged coins, but its still an indication. A wholesome AG 1916-D dime will set you back around $500. At 7.5 x the estimated survivors of the 16-D, a logarithmic projection from 75,000 down to 10,000 and a $500 value would yield what value? Any math gnerds out there?
You need a couple of data points**, then ask about 75,000 if you want to talk about a curve.
When you are talking only 1 point to another, you are reduced to a only being able to solve using a ratio no matter the shape of the graph there.
500/7.5 is 66 & 2/3
One more data point that isn't close to 10k and 500 nor 75k, plus the assumption of a exponential decay, would give us enough info to wing a very bad guess.
**(The rule is 3 data points minimum are needed for a curve, but I don't want to tax brains for data points)
<< <i>Not quite... every proof dime from 1895-1951 has a mintage under 75,000 as well. >>
Ah, good point, thank you.
<< <i>You guys haven't taken something into consideration- the USPS will loose about 80% of the sets in transit- the remaining 2015 W 10 will have an estimated survival of 15,000 coins.
If the dealers and flippers would stop stocking up on these US Mint products and just let them get lost through the public. It's just pure greed these low mintage products don't gain any worthy value.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

I agree with the 'pure greed' part of it - but I also think that if it weren't for the dealers and flippers, they wouldn't already have the value they have.
Once the dust settles and the <10,000 (my wild guess; there appear to be only a few hundred reg sets) Roosy dime collectors each have them, there will be plenty left over for the speculators and hoarders.
today it received an email from the mint stating the MoD set is still available but on backorder.
This is a bit late for this discussion but in the Roosevelt Dime series 75,000 is really small especially since there is no quantity for circulation. Not everyone will be sending them in for NGC or PCGS grading which will cut that slabbed quantity available. The slabbed ones not stored properly will spot etc. The day will come but maybe not in our lifetime the Roosevelt Dime series will end making them more desirable. 76 years is a pretty long run that's pretty much full retirement age and then some! A young collector/investor could probably do pretty good setting a few of these aside. That's just my opinion!
I don't disagree. I have a couple of full sets of the silver issues 1964 and before (not the modern silver issues). Whenever I see them in the junk box 90 percent, and they are clearly uncs, I will buy them and just put them in flips. I figure I have little downside on them.
