<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 802267, member: 4552&quot;]Sort of exactly true. Everyone uses that statement of key date and so many have little idea of what it does, should, could mean </p><p>For value examples, such as that 31S, is a key dated coin only due to the amount minted. However, in 1931, many coins had low mintages and many people knew that so they got hoarded to the point of most have little to very little value for thier age. Note that 31S in the highest grades is only a few hundred dollars. The 1931D too is less than 4 1/2 Million and almost no value at all. Although the Indian/Buffalo Nickel is very popular, the 31S there too is of real low mintage and just not what you would think for value. </p><p>Same with Mercury Dimes. The 31D there is the 4th lowest mintage in the entire series and just no value for that amount. Oddly enough the 31S is valued as more than the 31D and hundreds of thousands more minted. </p><p>Contrary to that if you could find a Standing Liberty Quarter from 1931 from any mint you would really, really have a super key date. Same with the Half Dollars. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>You would think that since the depression was still in it&#039;s hight, no one would be hoarding coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
