[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1394397, member: 17919"]It is very easy for some collectors to get depressed when it comes to key dates. For example, do I really want to pay more than twice as much for a low-grade 1916-D than I paid for the rest of my Mercury dimes combined? Do I really want to shell out $1000 for a 1909-S VDB, when all the other Wheaties in my collection combined cost less than $250? Do I really want to spend $4000-5000 for a 1911-D to complete my set of $2.50 Indians, when that price is more than 20X what I spent for any other date in the series? Do I want to take the chance that the S or D on that 1932 quarter is glued on? My answer to all but one of the above questions has been "No". But that doesn't stop me from enjoying the coins I do have.[/QUOTE]
