<p>[QUOTE="sledneck, post: 48462, member: 2847"]Ok I admit I'm a newbie, but is a 'key date' coin just a certain year & mint of a series that had low mintage numbers? I see coins all the time advertised a 'key date' coins and I'm not sure what to make of them. And Midas I think you're right about the price thing for certain coins over 'filler' coins, but I think it really depends on what you are collecting for. I collect mainly because I'm fascinated with the different kinds of coins found all over the world, and its interesting to note how coins reflect changing political attitudes in a country. I also collect so that when one of my grand kids become interested in coins (hopefully ONE of them at least will), I can pass on some cool stuff, same as my grandpa did for me. If I can make money in the process I won't shy from it, but I know in the long run I'll be (monetarily) poorer in the coin buying hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
