<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 485293, member: 13016&quot;]Lincoln Memorial cents: I don&#039;t think there really are any key dates. There are some relatively scarce varieties, though. There is a 1960 D/D, large date over small date variety. Also, I suppose the 1972 double-die obverse. 1983 double-die reverse. 1992-D close AM, 1998 wide AM, 1999 wide AM. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jefferson nickels: Key dates are 1938-D, 1938-S, 1939-D, 1939-S, and 1950-D. I am biased, as I collect Jefferson nickels, so I keep all dates pre 1965. They&#039;re not silver (with the exception of the war nickels 1942-1945), but they&#039;re worth more than face value to me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mercury dimes: Keep any you find in your change, as they&#039;re silver!! Key dates are 1916-D, 1921, and 1921-D.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Washington quarters: Any from 1964 or earlier (silver). Key dates are 1932-D and 1932-S. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kennedy Halves: Any from 1964 are 90% silver. Any from 1965-1970 are 40% silver. Not really any key dates that I can think of.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Eisenhower dollars: I would keep any of these that I received. Some are silver (learn how to tell the difference.) Almost all worth slightly over face value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Susan B Anthony dollars: No key dates that I know of. I personally don&#039;t think they&#039;re worth saving, but some may disagree with me. Oh, I think there&#039;s a wide rim variety or something like that. I&#039;ve seen them, but I don&#039;t set them aside. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sacagawea dollars: Look for the Cheerios variety on coins dated 2000. This is well-defined tail feathers on the eagle on the reverse. Some made their way into circulation. Worth a couple of thousand bucks each. Learn to tell the difference!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>State quarters: None worth saving, as far as I&#039;m concerned. Maybe if you want to put together one high-grade set for the novelty. I wouldn&#039;t pay a premium for any of these coins except the proofs, and you&#039;re not likely to find these in circulation, but it is possible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Presidential quarters. I think you&#039;re talking about the Presidential dollars. There were a few errors that were valuable (missing edge lettering, doubled lettering, etc.) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Large silver dollars: Morgan, Peace...all valuable due to silver content and scarcity. Keep any you find. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, this list just applies to what you might find in pocket change, because that&#039;s what you said you were looking for. I wouldn&#039;t use it to buy coins with. Besides, you shouldn&#039;t be buying key date coins yet if you&#039;re just starting out. Learn your stuff first so you don&#039;t get ripped off and have to pay too much &quot;tuition&quot; for your numismatic education.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
