[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1330520, member: 112"]Not like what I assume you are meaning, no. But yes, there is a way. All you have to do is look at the key dates/mints for any series.

And the prices are not all that accurate from what I hear. You can also purchase current as well as back copies of the CDN, they list prices for pretty much every coin going back to the 1970's if you wish to buy all of the back issues. You can also track historical prices via the Heritage web site. And you can always use the graphs found here - [URL="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.aspx?type=coinindex&filename=index"]http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.aspx?type=coinindex&filename=index [/URL] Even I can't tell you the keys for every series off the top of my head.
