I placed a prebid of 1155 for it so I ended up buying it by $5 (although I was watching live and was going to go higher if outbid). I'm hoping...

I did not subtract the numbers for the extremely/very rare, although choosing to do so probably makes sense (unless considering the union of all...
Here are some quantified stats from searching on CoinArchives for the following phrases: Total records: 1,673,137 Rare: 229,032: ~13% Very Rare:...
One of my general parameters in my collection is: if i can find a comparable example of a coin in a year or two, I shouldn't buy that one now. I...
