<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 6316238, member: 66"]Let's start with an assumption that the key date coins aren't engraved at a greater rate than the common dates. Later as it is discovered that common dates are just worth melt and the key date is worth a premium even with the engraving, the commons get melted. As time passes, more and more of the commons get melted while the damaged keys continue to survive because they are worth a premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
