Understanding Key Dates
- Key Date: The scarcest issue in a series — often the most expensive coin to complete a set
- Semi-Key Date: A scarce but not the rarest issue — still commands premium prices
- Mintage: Original coins produced — but survival rate varies dramatically
- Mint Mark: D = Denver, S = San Francisco, O = New Orleans, CC = Carson City, W = West Point, blank = Philadelphia
- Values shown are approximate ranges for the given grades. Key date coins in high MS grades can far exceed listed ranges.
