Most of the graded keys in my collection are in low grades
Won't post and insult the fabulous coins that have been put up on this thread.
So throwing in my error penny and nickel just for larks
I am human... I put my best effort forward to be respectful of others and I suspect I fall short in that goal as measured by others here. While there are reasons to be disappointed... try to walk on the sunny side of the street once in a while. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to Chick Webb's Blue Wax Columbia recording of that Depression Era standard which is now a classic...

Once touted as an extreme rarity in the 1960s with only "25 to 30 extant and perhaps less," the 1854-D Type I gold dollar is still tough coin. The estimates to range from 80 (Coin Facts) to 100 to 125 (Doug Winter). Compare that to the rarity of the key dates for most series like the 1909-S-VDB cent and 1916-D Mercury Dime (thousands known), this coin can be called "rare.'
If you look at the Red Book listings for the 1803 Small Date half dime, you might think it is only slightly rarer than the 1803 Large Date coin. That is not the case. The total estimated population is in the 25 to 30 ranage, which makes it of equal rarity to the 1802 half dime. Of course the 1803 Small Date is a die variety as opposed to the 1802, which is a date. That makes for a HUGE price difference. Still the coin is rare, and if you are looking to complete a Red Book set of these coins, this one will give you more trouble that you might think.
1803 Small Date Half Dime
And as a comparison, the 1803 Large Date Half Dime. There are two minor varieties of this coin. This piece is the plate coin from Walter Breen's Encyclopedia.
Love the 1803 Large date half dime and 1854-d gold 1$. I never knew there was such a rare variety of 1803 half dime. I appreciate the education!
I posted both in part to illustrate that these two coins are scarce with a highly questionable surviving population in a state of preservation worthy of submitting
Edited to add: Both images by the PCGS photography capture both coins quite well. It will be interesting to see and read if there are thoughts as to the grades.

As someone who is into UK coins of this era what exactly do the plumes signify?
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
Now that's what I"m talkin' about, very nice. The 22 is on my short list, want to find a nice wholesome high G or low VG coin. Not the easiest of tasks.
Great question... I believe plumes exist on certain coins to reflect that the silver for that coinage came from Wales.
Thank you. Very interesting numismatic tidbit for sure! Will look out for these unmarked in American dealer inventories, lol.
I wear a VF (well, it’s holed and bent) 1701 William III 6d on my necklace, but it doesn’t have plumes. It does seem that while the 1696-97 coinage is very common, 1698-1701 is actually somewhat tough to come by.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
William III coinage can be complicated- the 1697 Crown is prohibitively rare. There are different mints that issued 1/2 Crowns, shillings and 6 pence coinage. And there are some unusual varieties within each series.

Extremely nice and rare 1876-cc $5. Would love a coin of this date this some day, could not afford an AU-50.

Any fans of beaten up, ratty key dates?

Looks like a lead one in picture.
Got this one recently...
Very nice! 👍

I owned an attractive 1822 PCGS VG8 CAC but "downgraded" for this example.
A few semi-keys, do those count?
