<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26063750, member: 10461&quot;]Nope.&nbsp; The first and last years are just that: first or last years.&nbsp; A <b><i>key</i> date</b> is one of the rarest or most difficult dates to obtain from the series.&nbsp; (Like the 1885 Liberty nickel, for instance.)&nbsp; A <b><i>semi</i>-key date</b> is a better, and harder to obtain date in the series, but not one of the very top ones (like, say, the 1912-D, maybe).</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Key date&quot; is a much-abused and misunderstood term, especially on eBay, where you&#039;ll see sellers offering &quot;key date&quot; 1907 Indian cents.&nbsp; (The 1907 had an enormous mintage, and is the most common Indian cent date- thereby making it the exact <i>opposite</i> of a key date.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
