<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 539791, member: 8959&quot;]Interesting whay you guys say about the S-238.&nbsp; The 19th edition of CQR describes it as R-4, yet between the two of you, you have managed to find 9 specimens or so....</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it is as J. Robinson says, that rarity ratings are fluid and dynamic, and need to be updated continuously as new specimens come to light.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting example, now in the opposite sense is the 1796, S-105: CQR describes it as R5-, theoretically 61-75 specimens known. Yet, J. Robinson also notes that only 20 have been positively identified, and asks &quot;Where are the others that make up R5-?&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p>(i have one so that makes it 21 with proven existence).</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the things which makes copper collecting so rewarding!</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, not to be outdone by H.T, here is an S-207 R-3 which i managed to pick up recently. Note the nice break below the fraction.&nbsp; Spot of corrosion before the throat, but a nice coin otherwise. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
