<p>[QUOTE=&quot;der_meister77, post: 188255, member: 6402&quot;]I think part of the reason why coins like the 1916-D Merc. and 1909-S VDB cent are valued so much higher than the seated half dimes is because mercury dimes and wheat cents are very common coins compared to seated liberty coinage and MANY MANY (exponentially) more people collect sets of these coins as a result.&nbsp; I mean what collector didn&#039;t start with the old Whitman folder of lincoln cents?????</p><p><br /></p><p>As people complete their merc and wheatie sets and want that final key date, the price really rises for the keys.&nbsp; The demand for half dimes is in my opinion is much less than series of coins with the famous key dates.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this can help explain part of the reason why the values of half dimes are &quot;behind the times.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
