1996W Dime

In 2009 when the economic bubble burst civilians of this once great nation were forced to cash in those jars of coins in the house to try and make the rent. Thus flooding the system with coins. Mid 2009 the stopped minting most coins. 2009 had the lowest mintages in the last 50 years
 

I understand the 1996 w as well as S marks, even get the potential with the 2009. But why all of the others? 1965, 71, variety of the 80s and the 90p and 95d? Just personal collection interest?
 

Out of the dates I listed...The W has an approx value of $20.00. A 1982 with no mint mark inMS-65 condition is worth $80 and the 2 other "good" years are 1982P ($7) and 1983P ($6) and 1983D ($3)...Im not sure as to the why...just know what the 2013 "Red Book" says...
 

In the $500 worth of "Customer Rolls" I searched through today, I kept $10 in dimes from the above years....and only found TWO 2009's!

The US government was cutting costs. The Mint did not issue the annual Mint Sets that are typically the source for collectors to update their collection. They only issued Souvenir Sets that could only be purchased at the Mint. No notice was given. By the time collectors realized the obvious shortage to the typical supply, the majority of the year's coin production had already been released into circulation. The only source for collectors was OBW rolls or the Souvenir Sets.

It's not worth keeping the other dimes, except for the 2009s. Only mint-state ones are worth keeping.
