<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 179040, member: 112&quot;]There is something that collectors almost universally fail to recognize - that is that condition rairity exist for any coin regardless of the date on it. I don&#039;t care if the coin was minted 1364 or 2004 - examples in ultra high grades are rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now then, you also have to realize that the term ultra high grade is a relative one. By that I mean that MS64 or MS65 would be considered as an ultra high grade in 1364, while in 2004 MS69 or MS70 is an ultra high grade. Also realize that there is a reason for this - as time progressed from the medieval period to the modern era, so did the minting technology of coinage. And as a result the relative point of what constitutes an ultra high grade increased right along with the technology.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, condition rarities exist for all coinage equally. It is <u>not</u> something that applies to modern coins only.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
