milco congratulations on a super nice find.
M, a key coin, key date, or key date coin, is a coin that is the anchor so to speak of a series. Lets use Mercury dimes as an example. Of all the Mercury dimes issued from 1916 thur 1945, 1916-d is a key date because alot of the value of the set is in that one coin. Semi-key dates would be the coins that are in rare and high in value, but not as rare or as high in value. 1931-d is a good example, more valuable than most Mercury issues, but nowhere near the value of the 1916-d. Once you have/dug/bought the key date, acquiring the remainder of the series is easy.
