fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3647 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 01:56 am For Lincoln Cents, I'd add: 1917 DDO semi-key (condition key above VF) 1946-S S/D semi-key 1955 DDO semi-key 1958 DDO (major rarity, 3 currently known) 1969-S DDO (significant rarity,<40 currently known) 1972 DDO semi-key For Buffalo nickels, I'd add: 1916 DDO 1918-D/1917-D DDO There may also need to be a discussion of condition rarities. The 1921-S and 1926-S Buffs above EF are prime examples. Report this Post to the Staff
CollegeBarbers Pillar of the Community United States 2619 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 07:21 am That raises an interesting question. Are varieties considered key dates? I would argue no, because they're not separate dates, but rather varieties of the same date. Unless that date was already a key date, then its varieties would be too. I suppose it's all subjective. Fortcollins has a good point about condition rarities as well. ANA and IBNS member YouTube channel 7070 type set Walking Liberty set Want list Trade list Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 09:57 am I don't consider error coins a key anything. I don't collect them, but many people do but I wouldn't consider them needed to have a complete set. Of the coins listed the vast majority are doable to the average collector, the sets listed are actually affordable to complete. The 1916 Standing quarter is one that limits the completion of the Standing Liberty quarter, at $2000 for a G it's just not doable to the average collector. That one is a true key.

DiscoLover82 Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 06/14/2020 06:58 am What about the four different 2009 Lincoln cents? They're still obviously pretty new, but I'd imagine a lot of collectors went after them right away and the mintage figures themselves are anomalously low. I'd also nominate the 2009 Roosevelt dimes, which stopped being made at the end of April that year! Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3647 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 9:58 pm I'm not a fan of contrived scarcities, like the West Point quarters. I can't bring myself to include them on any list. JMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
