As was said before, pick up the keys and semi-keys first. It kind of sucks because for the same money you can be filling a LOT of holes. But at the same time when the tough holes get filled the rest is just a matter of time.

I have to also agree on the 1931S. It's easy to find MS grade examples for $100-150....I was surprized they were not more expensive.

The 1931-S is the 1950-D nickel of the Lincoln Cent world. It was hoarded in very high numbers leading to a large surviving population of AU-MS coins. It will probably never see dramatic price increases like other rare Wheaties with lower surviving numbers but it will still always be a semi-key coin

Very good point, biokemist6....

So, the 1931S is a rare coin, but its condition (lots of hoarding) made it "less rare" in high grade; which is the opposite of "conditional rarities".....

I'll hit the coin shop this weekend then.... can't wait for those price to keep on rising.
