Message:: [QUOTE="SPQR, post: 606329, member: 18912"]OK, I'm sort of new at this, but isn't the definition of "Key" or "Semi-Key" is that they are the lower mintages? It's really not all that difficult or expensive to find a 50 D Jefferson Nickel, but it is considered the "Key" date of the series so far. I agree that people are being silly about the 09 dimes and nickels, but still, wouldn't a lower mintage put them into "Key" status even if they carried a low premium? Seems we are equating "Key" with "Expensive" which does not always necessarily follow. Even if the 09 dime is a key, I do not see it carrying a big premium, because collecting interest in Roosy dimes is pretty low. Lots more people collect Jefferson nickels, and 09 is going to be a tougher to find year...not difficult, just tougher.[/QUOTE]
