<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2409253, member: 78244&quot;]I couldn&#039;t care less about the keys as I will never buy them for my collection (Investment, maybe). There are some things about the key date market that seem to have blown out of proportion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like how the survival estimate of 1878 IHC is less than the 1877 (don&#039;t believe me? Look it up!), yet the 1877 costs 10 times as much. Both are needed for the set, and the supply is the same. Yet one costs so much more because the initial mintage figure was lower. The number of collectors trying to complete a set of IHCs is a constant, so there should be equal demand for the 1878 and 1877 as the supply is roughly the same. But the &quot;value&quot; of the 1877 has been inflated way far past that of the 1878 for no other reason than the 1877 was a perceived rarity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
