<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 295313, member: 307"]respectfully, I said that the 01-S is the king of 20th century coins and as evidence I submit that the 1901-S is the rarest of the key date 20th century coins. I couldn't consider the 1913 nickels or the 33 St. Gaudens simply because they were not made for general consumption. This is also purely MHO. Are there coins that may be harder to find, perhaps, but the 01-S is they key date to the Barber Quarter series, a series that was widely circulated and therefore are difficult to find in the middle grades.... Much like the 1916-D mercury dime, you will see this coin all day long in AG to G, occasionally, you'll see a VG, but the 01-S in XF or high-end VF is harder to find than in mint state.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be fair to the Lincoln cent, I consider the 09-S VDB to be the most sought-after coin of the 20th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
