<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wheatmaster101, post: 2156607, member: 53971&quot;]Semi-Key Dates! Value in F-12 ($7.99-$69.99)</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of these Semi-Key Date coins can certainly be found in rolls or bags. They may be hidden a wheat cent hoard or even some pennies from the bank!</p><p><br /></p><p>1909 VDB:</p><p>Mintage: 27,995,000</p><p>Background: This coin follows the same story as the 1909 S VDB, people disagreed with the VDB initials on the reverse of the penny, and they were removed early in the year. However, the Philedelphia mint had and will continue to have a higher production rate than the mint in San Francisco. Therefore, a lot more 1909 P VDB&#039;s were minted than 1909 S VDB&#039;s causing the value of the P VDB to be much less than the Prominent S mint coin. It is still a semi-key, though. I have over 10 of these, but I wanted to show one graded ms-67 by PCGS in the picture.</p><p>Values:</p><p>In F-12: Around $8</p><p>In MS-63: BN and RB: $35-40, RD: $40-45</p><p>[ATTACH]414574[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>There is also a noticeable DDO for the 1909-VDB. Be careful to check for this, as it can be worth up to 3x the value of the non-error cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Early S mints (I felt that I could clump these together due to similarities.)</p><p>Mintages:</p><p>1910-S: 6,045,000</p><p>1911-S: 4,026,000</p><p>1912-S: 4,431,000</p><p>1913-S: 6,101,000</p><p>1914-S: 4,137,000</p><p>1915-S: 4,833,000</p><p>Description: These are nice coins to have. Despite the low mintages, they lack popularity compared to more famous coins such the 1909-VDB. As you know, the San Francisco mint had a significantly lower mintage rate than the Philadelphia mint, and will continue to. I find that the values of these coins are low, relative to their rarity.</p><p>Values:</p><p>1910 S-</p><p>In F-12: $15</p><p>In MS-63: BN- $110, RB- $130, RD- $155</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1911 S-</p><p>In F-12: $30</p><p>In MS-63: BN- $250, RB- $325, RD- $400</p><p><br /></p><p>1912 S-</p><p>In F-12: $17</p><p>In MS-63: BN- $250, RB- $325, RD- $375</p><p><br /></p><p>1913 S-</p><p>In F-12: $17</p><p>In MS-63: BN- $250, RB- $400, RD- $425</p><p><br /></p><p>1914 S-</p><p>In F-12: $24</p><p>In MS-63: BN: $450, RB- $700, RD- $900</p><p><br /></p><p>1915 S-</p><p>In F-12: $20</p><p>MS-63: BN: $350, RB- $550, RD- $800</p><p><br /></p><p>(Note: I would consider all of the early D mints, except 1914-D, better dates).</p><p><br /></p><p>1922 D:</p><p>Mintage: 7,160,000</p><p>Background: The only pennies/cents minted in 1922 were minted in Denver, and Denver also had its hands full minting the brand new Peace dollar. Also, Denver was busy minting the other denominations. All of the busy work led to a low-penny mintage for the 1922-D. If you happen to find a 1922 penny with no D, then you may have hit the jackpot. Look up to the key date section for more info.</p><p>Value:</p><p>In F-12: $15</p><p>In MS-63: BN: $130, RB: $160, RD: $200</p><p>[ATTACH]414585[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1924-D:</p><p>Mintage: 2,250,000</p><p>Background: This is another low mintage Denver coin. If have found a few of these in wheat cent bags, so keep an eye out for this one as it is a hole-filler and can be worth up to $40 in decent condition. However, the prices become very steep with uncirculated 1924 D&#039;s.</p><p>Value:</p><p>In F-12: $25</p><p>In Ms-63: BN- $475, RB- $650, RD- $800</p><p>[ATTACH]414593[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1926-S:</p><p>Mintage: 4,550,000</p><p>Background: Not much to say about this one. Simply a lower mintage coin that can make a good pull from a wheat cent bag or bank box. I&#039;ve found a few, so you can too!</p><p>Value:</p><p>In F-12: $10</p><p>In MS-63: BN- Around $400, RB- $700, RD- $950</p><p>[ATTACH]414590[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you wondering:</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin pictures I have used are from:</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS.com</p><p>NGC.com</p><p>usacoinbook.com</p><p><br /></p><p>(I used these pictures as I do want to spend countless hours photographing and photoshopping coins to look as good as these ones do)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
