<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2579238, member: 1892"]1909 (first year of issue, freshest Master dies, of course) or 1916 are a good start. As I recall from BadThad, they introduced new Master dies for 1916 and some pretty sharp strikes can be found among them. It's been my (limited) experience that what you heard about pre-1920 strikes rings true. Of the bunch, I suspect the 1909's will be the best grade-price tradeoff as they were widely saved in Mint State.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
