anyone have a 1829 10c jr10 in remembrance of the only one i've held/viewed that a dealer took out of the 2x for my to view in all its naked glory, ONLY to have it drop out of his hand and go rolling across the floor at a show!
thankfully a carpeted floor but the carpet was some crazy vegas-style so finding it took me a minute.
For the 1801-1807 Draped Bust Heraldic Eagle half dollar series, the 1801 and 1802 are similar in rarity and value, and they are the key dates of the series:

looking through a wonderful and diverse thread like this would surely reinvigorate any former numismatists love of the field and surely turn the head of a would-be collector!
a lot of this countrie's history is represented in these metallic footsteps to history.

I used to have a 78-CC almost exactly like yours---except it hard a carbon spot on the obverse rim at about 4 o'clock. My great aunt gave it to me when I was a kid around 1963 or 4. Unfortunately, I sold it, regrettably, to fund a business venture around 1990 that didn't net me much of a return.
Nice to see yours, at any rate!

I think these would qualify as 'Key' dates within their series:
I almost forgot this one - a common key date:
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
.
kind of amazing if thErE is no tracE of an E. perhaps a G then?
they pass muster.
i am perfectly happy with all the keys and monsters posted but i was hoping someone would bring a 22 10c to the party and what a 22 it is!

As far as Barber Halves in proof, the 1914 is the key date with a mintage of 380. This one is PF-67+
That's a helluva 1916 SLQ you have there, winesteven!
All the nickels in the sheet are 1913-D T2.
