1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/04/2008 6:52 pm As some of you know, I'm collecting just the keys for the entire small cent series (1856-present). What other dates/mintmarks are considered "key dates" aside from what I already have ? I'm not collecting errors, overdates or varieties yet. (DDO, overdates, RPMs) Flying Eagle: 1856 Indian Head: 1877 1909-S Lincoln (Wheat reverse) 1909-S 1909-S VDB 1914-D 1931-S What else is missing ? Report this Post to the Staff

ceaton Pillar of the Community United States 1179 Posts	Posted 02/04/2008 6:54 pm Wheat: 1922 No D, Weak D 1924 D 1931 D 1910 S - 1916 S I guess these might be considered Semi-key dates. Report this Post to the Staff
mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 02/04/2008 7:18 pm You already have all of the expensive key dates. Once you move onto varieties, the 1922-Plain and the 1955-DDO are the biggies. Here are the semi-keys for you: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/keydates.html Edited by mahgobbi 02/04/2008 7:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/04/2008 8:24 pm Thanks for the link Mahgobbi ! I may dive into the varieties next, or move to the semi-keys, or take a break from cents and concentrate on my dollar type set... decisions, decisions. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 02/04/2008 9:55 pm With IHC, I'd consider 08S to be semi-key, along with 64L, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 72. But I guess this gets to be too many. If I had to focus on keys for IHC, stick with 77 and 09S. If you want to go with keys and semi-keys, the list gets to be a lot longer.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/05/2008 07:32 am Just curious. Are these all slabbed? In 2x2's? So what is wrong with attempting to have a complete set? Report this Post to the Staff

So what is wrong with attempting to have a complete set? The 1856 FE and 1877 are slabbed (bought it that way). The 1909-S VDB and 1914-D are being certified with ANACS as we speak. The others will probably gets slabbed on my next round of submissions. Just doing it for authentication and ease of selling if I ever plan to do so. Too many fakes out there. Why I don't collect the whole series ? Too impatient, I guess. Too many little pieces so I just collect the most important. Report this Post to the Staff
