Message:: [QUOTE="Coinman1981, post: 794284, member: 20610"]Well, I suppose if the 1909-S VDB "isn't rare," the 1922 plain, 1969-S doubled die, or 1990 no-S proof are "rare" (if we are talking about what Lincolns "are rare"). But let's look at it this way -- relatively few people putting together Lincoln cent sets ever truly go after buying the 69-S DD or 1990 no-S. The 1922 plain is not essential to building a complete set of regular-issue Lincoln cents. So it all comes back to the '09 S VDB being the rarest of all "regular-issue" Lincoln cents. Still though, the term "rare" in the case of the 09 is just a matter of relativity. And, yes, while the issue of the '09 being rare or not may be debatable, the matter of its "demand" surely is not... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
