I think I'd go for the 1914-D all things considered.

My 14-D is damaged - circulation find, so I eventually want to upgrade - not a priority yet though. But this would be my obvious choice.

Earle42 - if your 14-D is a circulation find, how long have you had it? Damaged or not you only have a cent invested in it!
My key Lincoln dates: 09-S VF, 09-S VDB VG, 14-D VF, 22 plain G, 31-S VF

As popular as this series is, you might also want to cast your gaze upon many of the early branch mint issues. Some of them are downright pricey in upper grades - conditional rarities.

To me the easy answer would be, shop around for the best deal on either the 14D, 09S or 31S. Don't lock yourself into any one coin.
Check around and see what they are selling for, and learn what is a good deal and jump when you know it is a good deal....

 w/ GR58. That suggestion sounds like it makes the most sense.  |

all three choices are winners if those are grades you can live with.
I personally would have to go for the 14D then I would be left with just the o9S VDB to complete my set

I just picked up a 31s in au, 14d is much tougher to come by.
Get the 14d. The other key dates are all easier to find.

I feel the 14d is a great idea at the present prices and what you want to spend. Good luck with your decision.

The 1914-d is going to be in demand in any grade at any time. This would be my choice, even though I don't have a 1931-s yet either.

I have both, though both are problem coins. The 14D is lower grade though, so that is the one I would be replacing first. To answer the original question, both have appeal as key coins so get whichever one you can pull in the best condition for the 250 you mentioned. Both are needed to finish the set, so get the best you can of either.

I would also get the 14-D, just because of how hard it is to find.

The 09-s and the 14-d would be the one's I'd be looking for and it sounds like you have a good line on a 14-d.
The 31-s can be found more readily at higher grades with plenty of XF coins at around $100.

I paid $170 for an MS63 31S at a coin dealer about 6 months ago and $200 for a G4 14D at a coin show about a year ago. Given the two, I was more excited about the 14D since, as stated, it was the harder of the two to find. I only had three holes in my album when I got the 14D (the 31S and the 09S VDB, though I got the S VDB today and FINALLY completed that set) and used the rarity of the 14D to determine which to focus on at the time. Any way you go though should be a good deal since it sounds like you'll be happy with the purchase.
