[QUOTE="kanga, post: 514379, member: 9270"]For key and semi-key date/mm combos looks at catalog value, not mintage. Often in the older silver coins you can find coins with high mintages, but also high catalog value. Doesn't seem to make sense until you get into the history of US coins. There were a huge number of Morgans melted sometime in the 1800's. That made some mintage figures useless. Strike 20,000,000 coins and melt 19,750,000 of them, and you've created a scarcer coin.[/QUOTE]
