<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 376828, member: 12965&quot;]I did not say anywhere that a repunched coin is rare, I was referring to a 1828 Classic Head Half-Cent Cohen-1 coin, EXACTLY like mine (aka: OP Coin). Since mine happens to be a Die State II, even though I did not know this when I made my statement, it falls right in line with what I said and proved what I said was TRUE! I have looked at well over 100 1828 Half-Cents (13 star variety) and I haven&#039;t found no more than 5 with the repunched HALF-CENT and about 15 to 20 percent were Cohen-1&#039;s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Simple math is all I used in the beginning. I looked at the rarity of all 1828&#039;s:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cohen-3 is Very Common (13 Star Variety)</p><p>Cohen-2 is Common (12 Star Variety)</p><p>Cohen-1 is Scarce (13 Star Variety) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, my coin automatically is Scarce and since I had less than a 5 percent find ratio of my coin with the repunching, that qualified as saying it is MORE RARE than without and Breen has backed up my math. Maybe I got lucky or maybe it worked out in the wash, as statistics have a tendacy to do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Needless to say, it is neither here-nor-there that mine is a Die State II, what I said in the beginning has been proven by the fact my coin is a Die State II and thus, ones with a repunched HALF-CENT are more UNCOMMON (aka: RARE) than ones without the repunched HALF-CENT (and that is still holding to the discussion within this thread, which, if you don&#039;t remember what that was, is a 1828 Classic Head Half-Cent 13 Star Variety).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
