<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinguy56, post: 1358288, member: 27133&quot;]I believe the &#039;16-D Merc Dime is scarcer than the 09-S VDB Cent. If I had a choice between the two, it&#039;d be the Merc. However, the thing with these famous and valuable key dates is the demand, that is what brings in the higher prices (and because they are rare too). But I think it&#039;s mostly the demand. There&#039;s plenty of coins out there that are scarcer but cheaper than both of the mentioned coins. Like Matte Proof Lincoln Cents, in my experience they are <b>MUCH M</b><b>UCH </b>scarcer than the 16-D Merc and 09-S VDB. You can go to a coin show and find 10 examples of each coin, while maybe 1 or 2 Matte Proof Cents. But, that doesn&#039;t deter me from going for one of those coins.....I&#039;d love to have an 09-S VDB. </p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Also, the 09-S VDB is an easy coin in Mint State, the key date to the series in Mint State is the 1914-D Cent. Go to E Bay and you&#039;ll see 5 09-S VDB Cents in MS-65. At the same time, you&#039;ll see maybe 1 &#039;14-D Cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
