Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3050510, member: 27832"]I've been trying to find exactly what's on that "key dates and rarities" index; PCGS publishes <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/PCGS3000.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/PCGS3000.aspx" rel="nofollow">the PCGS3000 list</a> (although they make you suffer to get to the end of it), but they don't seem to publish the individual lists. I found a thread on another forum that links to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20031013135427/www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=coinindex&filename=keydatelist" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://web.archive.org/web/20031013135427/www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=coinindex&filename=keydatelist" rel="nofollow">a copy on archive.org from 2005</a>; I'll guess it hasn't changed that much since. 1856 FE cent, various grades; 1877 IHC, various grades; 1909-S VDB, 1914-D, 1955 DDO Lincoln; 1916-D and 1942/1 Merc; 1896-S, 1901-S and 1913-S Barber quarters; and so on. Actually, I'll take back the "and so on" -- it includes the 1932-D and S quarters in low grade, which are solid two-figure coins, and the 1921-S Walker, but not the rarer 1921-P or D. And it does not include the $50 Pan-Pac pieces that appear on the full PCGS3000. Seems downright scrambled. Maybe they're trying to select pieces to tell the price-trend story they want...?[/QUOTE]
