<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 351287, member: 9167"]I look at keys as the most difficult coins to obtain, which are sometimes not always the most expensive. If we're using Lincolns as an example, the 23 S comes to mind. Rather high mintage for the times, but hard to find a decent specimen. It's a cheap coin to buy...the problem is finding one. To me, coins like this are keys. Unfortunately,speaking of Lincolns again, the 09S VDB shouldn't be a key, despite the low mintage, because most were saved from day one and more exist than probably any other early Lincoln date in today's market. It's a false key in my opinion.</p><p> </p><p>So, it's all up for opinion in some cases.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
