I thought it might be good to provide an update on the 2009 nickels, especially since I see a lot of roll searchers who mention them when roll hunting. I'm going to expand my original post and change the title to include the low mintage dimes as well. First, here are the mintages as per the Redbook:
2009-P nickel: 39,840,000
2009-D nickel: 46,800,000
2009-P dime: 96,500,000
2009-D dime: 49,500,000
Since these coins first came out 10 years ago, I thought it would be interesting to look back and share with each other how many of each we have found. Without getting too specific about where I live (for privacy reasons), let's just say that I live west of the Mississippi River (which is true). That said, here are my findings so far after close to 10 years of looking...
2009-P nickel: 0 (a total goose egg so far)
2009-D nickel: 24
2009-P dime: 3
2009-D dime: 6
If you read my original post, you will see information about Puerto Rico being the potential home for lots of these 2009's. I know of someone who is selling rolls of BU 2009-P nickels for $65 a roll. At first I thought that was a sky high price, but now that I realize I have found ZERO in the past 10 years, maybe that isn't as high as I first thought.
What has everyone else been able to find of these 4 coins?

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
