<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1320371, member: 26302"]I agree completely and its like the story of the 1883 nickles I related. Rarities, absent items like 09svdb that were hoarded at the time, tend to be items people either hated when they came out or simply overlooked. Another example is 1976 quarters. Everyone and their brother kept them, and today they still hit circulation in BU condition every once in a while. Try to find a nice condition 74 or 77 in circulation. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hate to say it, I do not think any coin produced in a mint or proof set will long term be key.

[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1320371, member: 26302"]I agree completely and its like the story of the 1883 nickles I related. Rarities, absent items like 09svdb that were hoarded at the time, tend to be items people either hated when they came out or simply overlooked. Another example is 1976 quarters. Everyone and their brother kept them, and today they still hit circulation in BU condition every once in a while. Try to find a nice condition 74 or 77 in circulation. :( Hate to say it, I do not think any coin produced in a mint or proof set will long term be key. It will be overlooked items from circulation, its always things no one thinks about. Look at prices for 1950's cereal boxes, they are insane. But who the heck kept cereal boxes from back then? Why would you? Even for what we think are keys they aren't. The 16d is scarce, but in MS65 it is not nearly the scarcest Mercury.
