<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 7012614, member: 106826&quot;]No worries, I understood the point of your comment, but just wanted to offer that many folks, including CRH enthusiasts, don&#039;t realize there are hidden &#039;goodies&#039; in the coins they might otherwise see as Common and pass right over.</p><p><br /></p><p>To your point of not considering the 50 D as a Key Date, what makes it &#039;key&#039; isn&#039;t necessarily the same criteria that makes another coin in another series, &#039;key&#039;.&nbsp; As I&#039;m sure you are aware, 50 D&#039;s in BU condition are easier and cheaper to come by than a number of other Jefferson nickels.&nbsp; Knowing you can buy one cheap might not make it &#039;key&#039; for some folks.&nbsp; But finding a worn 50D in circulation, a real challenge.&nbsp; In building my roll set, I&#039;ve found some dates very challenging over the years.&nbsp; Other years a breeze to build in AU/BU grades.&nbsp; Some challenging common dates as I recall (probably several more I&#039;m missing without looking at the set):</p><p><br /></p><p>1942 D in VF or better condition</p><p>1951/1951 D in VF or better condition</p><p>1952 D in XF or better condition</p><p>1970s nickels in AU/BU condition</p><p>1982 P and D in XF or better condition especially AU or better</p><p>1983 P and D in XF or better condition especially AU or better</p><p>1984 P in AU or better condition</p><p>1986 D in AU or better condition</p><p><br /></p><p>When you find an AU/BU specimen of these, they are likely worth more than most/all of the older Jeffersons a CRH enthusiast normally pulls from circulation.&nbsp; And when folks factor in the varieties, most of these are worth more too.&nbsp; But to each their own...including how they feel about definitions like &#039;key&#039;.&nbsp; I think that those building circulation sets will have a broader definition relative to the time and volume committed to that endeavor.&nbsp; I know my definition has changed relative to my own experiences with CRH events.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
