What about other series? Do you agree with jbuck that there is only one key for a series?
Good question, generally I agree with Jbuck only one Key per series, however, in my collecting series - the
Two Cent Piece that is a tough call.
1864 Small Motto
1872
that is only for the business strikes, both are really rare and tough coins evidenced by the premium price they bring, now if we include the proof coins in the series then there is only one the Small Motto with less than 25 struck (probably) and only maybe a dozen known. The 1872 proof is more common and now we add into the mix the 1873 (with two varieties) that is proof only, the closed 3 1873 is probably the next rarest, followed by the open 3 1873 then 1864 Large Motto, 1865 finally the 1872 in proof.
I think one coin is correct for most coin series but there can be exceptions.
P.S. I've owned one of each of all the coins in the 2 cent series except for the Small Motto proof, I will probably never be able to afford one, I track them and only saw 2 sell in the past 3 years.
