<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 969420, member: 26302&quot;]I would say &quot;rarity&quot; is a function of demand versus available supply. Mintage can be deceiving. What is more deceiving is demand. US coinage has huge demand, much more than any other country on earth. This increases the newer the coin, so availability of 1909sVDB is MUCH higher than availability of a 1812 cent, but in circulated grades it is much more expensive. It all depends on how many people want them. I have coins that maybe 50 exist in the world, yet all of them are worth much less than a sVDB.</p><p><br /></p><p>A key date is simply a date in an accepted series that is rarer than the others. A key date can have a mintage of 24 or 240,000,000, it just has to be the least available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
