<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 1518381, member: 9474&quot;]I understand what you are saying, but I disagree with you.&nbsp; Technically, nearly all the modern key dates are part of some special set or edition.&nbsp; This includes all the copper lincolns, 96W dime, the two nickels, the 98 half dollar....etc.&nbsp; In order to get these, you tend to have to purchase a set to aquire them.&nbsp; This doesn&#039;t make them not a key date just because they are in a special series.&nbsp; If you collect a particular series, lets say lincolns, the 2009 copper UNC pennies are a must.&nbsp; The only way to get them was to purchase a UNC set from that year.&nbsp; Those are key dates for those lincolns because no other &quot;modern lincoln&quot; has a mintage that low.&nbsp; I don&#039;t consider varieties as a key unless it is generally accepted in the collecting world as the key to the series.&nbsp; For example, the 2000P Cheerioes Sac is a rare variety.&nbsp; Estimated that 5000k made, but less than 100 certified.&nbsp; For us SAC collectors, this is the key to the series, even though this came in a special package that was limited.&nbsp; Thats what makes it key.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t say there are any key &quot;modern&quot; coins that are in circulation.&nbsp; They are all found in special mint sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
