<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1198819, member: 15929&quot;]Thats as far as you know but in reality a key date is a coin with a low mintage that may be difficult to obtain in higher grades and the 1973 IKE&#039;s certainly fill that bill.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Less that 2 million in Mints sets.</p><p>A little over a million for Silver Proofs.</p><p>and 2.7 million for the copper nickel clad proofs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Compare those numbers with the multi million productions of 1971 (116 million), 1972 (168 million) and 1974 (72 million) and you&#039;ve got a low mintage coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh yeah, the obverse design changed slightly and the high relief type 3 reverse was solidly incorporated into the 1973 coins and all the subsequent years except those Bi-Centennial cons. Matter of fact, back in 1973, lots of folks eagerly awaited the 1973 IKE&#039;s since they represented the 1st year that the coins were available in US Mint Sets AND copper nickel Proof Sets. Definitely a Key Coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
