  I hope hubs are kept for posterity since they aren't used to directly strike coin.

  I recently saw one at a show, it was a canceled Roosevelt die in a felt pouch and a dime supposedly from the same die.
  It was sold for $25 while I stood there.

  Crap, wish I had been there. Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm thinking some searching may get me a Roosie die, but any kind of hub would probably be in a black cabinet.

  The U.S. Mint sold a bunch of cancelled 1995 and 1996 Olympic commemorative coin dies (silver dollar and gold $5). They had a neat thin X cut accross the face and virtually all of the design is still intact. They are occasionally available on eBay but they aren't cheap.

  Great looking die. Each one came with a certificate of authenticity that is unique to that die---die number, number of coins struck, the press it was used with, the reason the die was retired, and the date the die was retired.

  It would be WAY over the top to allow a hub to get out of the mint. If a counterfeiter could lay their hands a hub, there would be “heck” to pay. As for dies, those have gotten out of the mint one way or another since the early 19th century.
  
  I have four canceled U.S. mint dies. After the 1968-S Proof coins were struck the dies and hubs were defaced and sold. I have a totally effaced dime die with one of those wooden holders that a now closed, but well known New England coin company sold years ago. I also have an obverse and reverse set of nickel dies and the collar that goes with them. And finally I have one of those canceled 1996 Olympic dies that was used to strike the Flag Bearer $5.00 gold pieces.

  I think you mean $5 gold piece.
