<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YNcoinpro_U.S., post: 140103, member: 3225&quot;]Not confusing at all.&nbsp; I perfectly understand what you are asking and I must say that it is interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way I think most people call key dates &quot;Key dates&quot; is because of the low populations of the coin existing.&nbsp; If that coin is difficult to locate then, I think it is a key date.&nbsp; I believe that it is a general consensus in the hobby of what is and what is not a key date.&nbsp; I know of many semi-keys that I believe should get the key date persona.&nbsp; Some key dates, like you mentioned, do become key dates over time.&nbsp; I believe it was the 1903-O or 1903-S Morgan dollar that was considered the rarest coin in the series, but then the US Trreasury realesed tons of MOrgans onto the market creating an influx in rare and non rare coins.&nbsp; Today, most all of the early federal U.S. coins are becoming varietized (JR, Browning...) and these census are making varieties key dates of themselves thus creating a new market.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is how I perceive how a key date becomes a &quot;Key Date&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
