[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1711092, member: 41863"]I guess looking at that info I am more interested in the 'over looked' coins, semi-keys, and potential future keys. Anybody keep a list of those? And here is what I am trying to say by using Mercury Dimes for examples: we all know the 16-D is the money coin followed by those 21's what I am interested in is a coin like the 31-D or 26-S , something that many people may not have paid attention to, has a low mintage (compared to the series and actually close to the 21's mintage) and has the potential to be a nice sought after coin later on down the road (maybe, maybe not, but likely a better shot than the 45-P who has 145 million coins). THATS the list i want to know about, I mean I can put it together myself, and may very do that this weekend, but I wanted to see if anyone has a partial list already. Lately I have been just buying coins that are attractive to the eye (at least mine) and ive decided to be a little more thorough and take my time a little more and this is where i ended up. Trying to fish out those coins that cost relatively close to their easily obtainable brethren but still have the potential to be a nice anchor coin for a collection. Most folks stop at the keys when they are completing sets, I want to have some of those last few coins almost all collectors obtain before they decide to stop their series for financial purposes.[/QUOTE]
