Semi key dates are hard to get coins in a series, but aren't the rarest in their series.
For example, with Mercury dimes, the 1916-D is the key date, they only made 264,000 of them, even well worn 1916-D Mercury dimes sell for hundreds of dollars.
On the other hand, the 1921 Mercury dime is considered to be one of the semi-key dates, they made about 1.2 million of them and in average condition you can pick one up for about $30 or so.
Semi-key dates sell for more than a common date coin. For example, a Mercury dime that is in average circulated condition sells for about $3 or so. However, a semi-key date like the 1921 would never sell for that low (if the dealer knows about them). So while semi-key dates aren't going to make you rich if you find one, they are worth quite a bit more than just an average coin.

In earlier years, when a die which was being used to mint coins became worn so the date did not appear clear, the workers at the mint would "repunch" the date, meaning they would take punch tools with the numbers of the date and try to make the date clearer on the die. Sometimes called "recut" the more common term is "repunched". This practice was also applied to mint marks which were getting worn from use.
