Unless you have tons of money of course. :)

wow! I'll have to put that on my list of Lottery win purchases.
Though, to be honest, I would probably still not buy one as key-date
coins just do not interest me unless something (design variety)
besides the date is different.

I'd rather get a nice single PCGS/NGC certified example of each type
coin, a project I'm slowly working on even with my limited budget. I
bought a raw ($21.56) 1916 Barber Dime last year and while it was a
nice coin for the price, I doubt it's the "MS-64+++" the seller
claimed it was. :)

The coin album manufacturers all have the good sense not to include an
opening for the 1894-S dime, which renders it irrelevant for most of us -
but persist in calling for an 1895 Philadelphia Morgan dollar in those
products. Go figure.
