I just knew asking for a definition of rare would make this thread interesting. :) I have several coins over $500, but I just don't consider them...
Congrats! How about a picture - I finally found one earlier this year, but it only took me a year to find it. Now when ever I go to the back I...

Do I get the urge to impulse buy - yes. It is worse at the local coin shop, cause they always seem to have something I want. The good thing is -...
