<p>[QUOTE="gopher29, post: 757904, member: 5379"]Not to get too off topic but I think we need to define the word scarce. Scarcity is not determined by price or demand. It is a direct result of the number of pieces in existance of a particular item relative to other comparable items. All half cents are scarce. The only reason they are reasonably priced and easily obtainable is because of a lack of demand when compared to other series. In other words, not many folks want them. If just half as many people collected half cents as say Lincoln cents then prices for all half cents would be sky high.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
