February the 6th of this year, 2015, it was made known to the public. The United States mints in West Point and Philadelphia will begin making the new 2015 March of Dimes Exclusive Silver Dimes. Each new dime will have the letter stamped on it to identify where it was minted. The stamp will either be a (W) for West Point or a (P) for Philadelphia.
The 2015 March of Dimes also confirmed that the exclusive Silver Dimes would be on sale in March of this year 2015. This is the best time to plan how to get your special Exclusive coin. It is unclear if a % will actually go to The March of Dimes Foundation.
The dimes will feature a picture of President Roosevelt on the front, and an infant on the back stamped The March of Dimes. The March of Dimes is a foundation that raises money for medical research and medical cost for infants and children who are stricken with a congenital disability.
The current silver prices have not as of yet been affected by the minting of the new coins. The current silver price stands at $16.50 per troy ounce. However, once the dimes are in circulation, the silver coin prices may change drastically.
The reason for the increase is because of investors and collectors. When the silver dimes go into circulation, the silver investment may increase. Silver investment is a good form of investing, especially if you can store the silver. The same can be said with a vast coin collection. An avid coin collector needs to have the proper amount of space to keep large rare collections.
Silver investors and silver dime collectors want special coins like the 2015 March of Dimes exclusive Silver Dime. Once it is made available in March, collectors and investors will stock up on them.
