<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mac266, post: 2949845, member: 26371&quot;]The 1916-d is the key to the set.&nbsp; You can regularly find them in AG3 for a few hundred bucks, and they are very common in G4.&nbsp; G6 is a bit of a rare bird, but at VG8 you start to pay out big money.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1921-d and 1921 are considered &quot;semi-keys&quot; to the series.&nbsp; They are also regularly available in lower grades for around $50 each, but higher grades are also affordable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have the overdates of 1942.&nbsp; Both the Denver and Philadelphia mints made the same mistake in 1942, where they polished the &quot;1&quot; out of the 1941 die and restamped it with a 2 for the next year.&nbsp; On one die in each location they failed to completely polish it out, resulting in an appearance of a 2 superimposed over the 1.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Philadelphia one is obvious to the naked eye.&nbsp; Denver&#039;s takes a loupe to see.&nbsp; The overdates will cost you a few hundred bucks each, too, depending on grade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Those are the five coins in the series that will affect your pocket book.&nbsp; All the others can be had for a few bucks each, even in higher grades.&nbsp; It&#039;s a fun series, so knowing what the five roadblocks are, I&#039;d suggest doing the opposite of what I did -- buy the keys first and then fill in the easy ones!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]720334[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
