[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1903599, member: 37925"]A key note or key series is pretty loosely defined. It is the hardest to find note/type/block of a set. Depending on the set, the key series may be the same or it may be different. It depends on how the collector builds the set. The key series to a $1 silver certificate type set may be the 1928-E. But if the collector considers stars, mules, experimental notes and blocks, there are harder to find notes. I think a general answer is appropriate: the key note (or key series) is the scarcest note for any given set. It's hard to gauge scarcity by production numbers, however. Lowest production doesn't necessarily mean rarity. It also depends on the amount of notes physically released into circulation, redemption rates, and other socio-economic conditions that affected the survival.[/QUOTE]
