[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 3238310, member: 73995"]Well there are three different kinds of coins that attract a premium. It is not so much the date as it is the coin. 1) Variety's= not to be confused with an error. Variety's are coins with Doubled Dies, RPMs, Type 1/ Type 2 rev. OMM's etc. All of these have a small premium but not all are rare. 2) Errors= an anomaly that happens at the mint, Improperly annealed/ or (sintered planchets), Improperly mixed alloy, or (Woodies), Clipped planchets, Struck off center, Broad struck, capped dies. etc. etc. etc. These are some of the more valuable. 3) Conditional Rarities= these are coins with excellent eye appeal, fully lustrous and well struck coins with full details, they include FS Jeffersons, FT Roosevelts, FSB Mercurys, FBL Franklins.
