<p>[QUOTE="Lugia, post: 908119, member: 21025"]even tho there is quite more posted then what im quoting i most believe in the 1st part. </p><p> </p><p>on the other hand i completely disagree with the 2nd part. that is all subject to opinion. im having a hard time putting what i think into words. when people look at lincolns and mercury dimes ECT. we know what the "key dates" are. now compare these key dates to the mintages of coins from 1794. almost everything in 1794 would be a key date. on top of that with all the different types you have in 1794 is a S-65 going to be graded differently from an S-66 because ones a R1 and ones R5? i wouldnt know anything about how well they were struck to tell the difference in grade but i would expect a better explanation then "its a tough sheldon in that date". its just that what is usually called key date doesnt seem key at all to me if i could goto ebay right now and pick one up like a 1877 IHC. if i wanted that i already know its going to be the most expensive piece in a IHC set so the last thing i want is it being overgraded because its "key date". i know this isnt how the system works but this is the opinion ive formed based on what i collect. i hope some of this made sense to anyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
