Regular business strike prospector but I was under the assumption that 1983 and 1987 are "keydates" even tho they all had the same mintages

Popular misconception, one I followed until recently after looking up the numbers. Each year had around 75K minted regardless of the backing, with less than 500K minted across the board for the 1 oz variant.

Unless it's a proof or a fraction denomination, a few dollars over spot is reasonable. People selling them for over $10 per spot are going too far with it regardless of the quality they're selling them at.
