<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 681999, member: 19423&quot;]The 1909-S Lincoln is definitely a semi-key coin.&nbsp; 4th lowest mintage in the entire 100+ year Lincoln series and it&#039;s not cheap in any grade.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not quite sure about the numismedia values, but even so, the 30 coins or so that cost more than this one in 65 red do not make the 1909-S any less of a semi-key coin, it just means that many of those other coins are condition rarities at the 65RD grade as they weren&#039;t saved as much as the first year Lincolns.&nbsp; price those same 32 coins out at the G4 grade and the 1909-S Lincoln will likely be in the top 5 in value, that makes it a semi-key.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing most of the others more expensive that the 1909-S in 65RD will be worth under $5-$10 in G4 condition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Same story for the 1908-S Indian Head cents.&nbsp; Many IHCs cost more than the 1908-S in MS65RD, but very few cost more in the very low grades.&nbsp; The low mintage and relatively high price across all grades make it a semi-key.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
