<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1518420, member: 29751&quot;]If you want a challenge, try to find an MS example of a full-torch Roosevelt dime from Denver or Philly for the year 1980.&nbsp; They are downright almost impossible.</p><p><br /></p><p>@jaceravone, I think you are using &quot;low mintage&quot; as a synonym for &quot;key date&quot;.&nbsp; They are not the same thing.&nbsp; Yes, you could only get the 95% copper 2009 UNC cents in mint sets, but some 780,000 of the sets were sold.&nbsp; Almost every one of those sets will yield satin finish copper cents grading in the MS66-MS68 range.&nbsp; Even if it is the &quot;lowest mintage&quot; since the 1931-S cent, they are still readily available to collectors.&nbsp; They simply are not key date coins.&nbsp; They are curiosities and a coin with an interesting story, yes; but not a KEY, not by a mile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
