Since the post allows semi-keys as well I could have just went with 1908-S cents too...

 

I love that set Illini, here is the only American key date I've owned:

 

Here is the first year of the two cent piece. With Proof mintage of 100, and 20 or so known to be Small Motto, not too many of these Large Motto's out there. I was pretty lucky to find this one. I don't need to worry about finding a Proof Small Motto, in fact, I've never seen one in hand and can only guess at what one would sell for. :bigeyes:

 

Really nice coin.

 

There's some great coins in this thread.

Here's a semi-key that I have not posted here before.

 

Super Nice

 

Did someone say key dates???

 

enjoy this:

 

and this:

 

I LOVE key dates!!!

note: this is not considered a key date, but ask anyone who has put together a nice clean set of Jefferson Nickels if they had an easy time finding a 42-D. this one's got full steps, too!

 

or this one:

 

Mikenoodle: You made my day. I had my doubts that anyone would post the '49S Rosey, and there you did! I knew somone would post the '16D Merc, but had my doubts about the Roosevelt. Any chance I could bother you to post the reverse??? I also have that coin in unc and great series overall. I admit I don't have the key for the Mercury Dime series, but I do have 21 and 21D in fine so that makes up for it in my mind. Thanks again for posting the 49S!

 

and now for something completely different...

 

lucky for me the topic is "key dates," not "high grade key dates."

 

As long as you said keys and not high grade. These fill the slots for now.

 

You just had to didn't you Gorgeous coin!
