Supply and demand, my friend. It's called capitalism.
I'll let everyone else go before I post mine ;)
Do you know anyone who does that? Especially minor die cracks on low grade circulated modern coinage? Because I don't.
Well, you already posted but I was going to say this coin is a 30 obverse, 35 reverse. Way too much wear for a 40, and there is no trace of luster...

What/who am I looking at here?
You left off CT ☺ I would recommend adding the acronyms that specialists use (B, BB, V, JR, O, F, VAM, and a whole lot more) Good go at a list,...
Then fix it! That's the beauty of Wikipedia. The numismatics section is rather neglected, but all it would take would be someone with a little...
