MS62

Believe it or not, this 1913-S Saint I cracked out of an NTC holder....Grade was MS61.

mrpotatoheadd · October 24, 2012 1:00PM

Doubled dies are varieties of a particular date. I'm not sure that makes them a "key date" though.

That`s why I added a ?

Patches · October 24, 2012 1:06PM

I actually own no coins currently that would be considered a key date...probably a 1902-S Barber Half is my closest thing to it. I find semi-keys with superior eye appeal a much better value over key dates, and a lot harder to hunt for. To each their own, good luck on the key dates

OnlyGoldIsMoney · October 24, 2012 1:21PM

Key dates in my series are 1841, 1848 CAL, 1854-S, 1856-D, 1864, 1865 and 1875. Most are out of my reach.

Here is a semi-key I own.

RYK · October 24, 2012 1:25PM

Only the 32-D and 32-S quarters from an old circ album set

Lakesammman · October 24, 2012 1:35PM

Those are keys?? Move this to the modern forum.

bosco5041 · October 24, 2012 1:44PM

I don't know if this is considered a key date. (Is there a dfference between a key date and a rare date?) but I have a certified VF 1846 dime.

notwilight · October 24, 2012 1:47PM

93 1c
94 50c

Jinx86 · October 24, 2012 1:51PM

Not a huge collector of key dates but I do buy them when I can find nice ones.

1895 O Barber Dimes in fine and very fine are the only two US key dates I can think of.

fivecents · October 24, 2012 2:02PM

A hoard of:
1908-S 1909-S IHC in PCGS MS63/64RB (All have lots of red)
1938-D walker 50c in PCGS MS63/64
1921 Peace 1$ in PCGS MS63/64

1909-S VDB in PCGS OGH MS60 and AU58
1955 DDO 1c in PCGS OGH AU55
1914-D PCGS VF35
1877 IHC OGH PCGS VG10
1921-D Walker 50c OGH PCGS VG10 x 2
1914-S 25c PCGS OGH F15

Thats all I can think of at the momment.
Thinking about trading most of these off for bullion.

Vbowling299 · October 24, 2012 2:10PM

Those sound like nice ones fivecents!
I do prefer my seated quarters but i can appreciate (and on occasion purchase) nice examples of these dates!

originalisbest · October 24, 2012 3:41PM

Let's see -- not as many as some. "Traditional" key dates:

1877, 1908-S, 1909-S Indian, '09-S VDB, 14-D, 31-S in cents

1885, 1886, 12-S for nickels

1895-O, 1916-D dimes

1892-O,S 1897-S, 1914-S, 1932-D, S quarters

1892-O, 1896-S, 1921-PDS halves

1921 Peace

Of them, the 1877 is the most individually desireable.

<< Nothing I would personally consider a key date, although I have a few semi-keys. >>

Yep, some semi-Key dates.......but mostly high condition rarity. One step down from the next from where it jumps exponentially.

Many may disagree with the way I collect but it works for me.

JamesMurray · October 24, 2012 4:42PM

1916d Merc , 1920 and 1920d Mercs

Nickcap · October 24, 2012 4:45PM

I have a few Morgans

This is one.

I also have The following:

1901-P
1896-O
1886-O

CoinCast · October 24, 2012 7:25PM

I have a 09-2 VDB in 30
16-D in 3 CAC
and a raw 1921 in AU

<<

I don't think anyone could look at the pictures of your coins and see the obvious joy and excitement you have for collecting and disagree with the way you collect.

Steve27 · October 24, 2012 8:11PM

16-D Mercury
21-D Mercury
32-D Quarter
32-S Quarter
21 Walker
21-D Walker
38-D Walker
21 Peace
28 Peace

It would be easier if you take out the 19th century coins out of that list and rename it the 20th century key coin list. A separate list for the 19th century coins would be a tough project to work on in itself.

Many of thr coins you have listed with ?? are probably considered semi-keys. i do not think the 1983DDR or 1984DDO cents would qualify for this list.

The 1916 SLQ would probably be considered a key?

In uncirculated grades, the 1921-S walker would be considered a key?

Also perhaps adding gold coins in a separate 20th century coinage list? You may want to call this a copper, nickel and silver 20th century list. Otherwise, you leave out too many key gold coins which so few can afford!

Have fun with the list!

A couple favorites

1907 Wire Edge Indian Eagle
1907 Wire Edge Saint

Walkerguy21D · October 24, 2012 9:47PM

Off the top of my head:
large cents: 1799, two '23/2's, '39/6, along with semi keys like the '09, '11, and '21
multiple 09S IHC's and Lincolns.
1880 shield nickel, business strike.
All buffalo nickel keys except the overdate and 16/16.
1894, 1895 dimes.
Several 21P and D dimes.
32D and S quarters (which are far more common than than the semikey Barbers I'm not listing)
All the walker keys, including five 21P's in Fine or better.

TwoSides2aCoin · October 24, 2012 11:13PM

Had a few go through my hands, while I wished and hoped and begged them to come back and show me more

ambro51 · October 24, 2012 11:14PM

Feuchtwanger 3G Vermont Ryder 1 Immune Columbia. Oh yeah SVDB PCGS OGH 66RD

messydesk · October 25, 2012 12:16AM

Ignoring rare die varieties that are beyond the Red Book's radar:

1811 ½¢ PCGS 8
1922 No D Strong Rev 1¢ PCGS F/cleaned
1822 10¢ PCGS 3
1844 10¢ PCGS 8 (OK, more of a pseudo key)
1938-D 50¢ PCGS 63
1903-S Micro S $1 PCGS 30

Also a handful of semi-key dollars or dates that are not really keys in the grades that I have them in, such as AU58 94-O, 96-O, 83-S. I don't have the "big ones" (89-CC, 93-S, 94), though.

DennisH · October 25, 2012 12:35AM

Which coins in each series qualify as "key" dates?

AUandAG · October 25, 2012 12:45AM

Very nice list, Lee, but where is your focus??? Are you just wandering around on the key
date thing?

bob

joeykoins · October 25, 2012 2:46AM

Sold most,if not all of my "key-Date" coins. One I do still have and probably will never sell,a 1909sVDB in a PCGS grade F (12).I'll keep for the history part.If the price would jump tremendously,maybe,I would sell?I'm expecting because of the Steven Spieberg movie "Lincoln" the coin might rise,who knows?

johnny9434 · October 25, 2012 5:10AM

1955 ddo cent, 1921 & 1928 peace dollar, 1909 s ihc, 1908 s ihc.

Great coins, boiler78 -- though I know many love the double eagle (with good reason) -- looking at those pieces, the Indian Eagle is my fave gold design. Beautiful!

kiyote · October 25, 2012 6:46AM

Boiler even did the more attractive No Motto versions! Nice..
