<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 630653, member: 9474"]Not that there is anything wrong with this statement, because it is true,,,,,,but we can always justify the value of a coin with a variety when it was found a long time ago and it has already garnered the interest of the collecting community. The longer the variety has been ingrained into our collecting heads, the more of a value it retains. But people tend to forget that, support of these varieties don't happen over night. For instance, I am looking at my Dads 1965 Handbook of US Coins (the blue book) and there is not one mention of the Bugs Bunny Franklin 10 years after it was minted. Had it been discovered by then??? Quite possibly, I don't know because I couldn't find the history on it, but obviously sometime between then and now it picked up in popularity because my 2007 Red book has it listed. </p><p><br /></p><p>This new 1956 Double 5 bar appears to be, by all accounts, a fairly new found variety. And if not newly found, then definitely newly publicized because it is being spoke about on different forums and now is in the written press with its price listing. Very little info is found on the internet, and only one source has this variety listed. But who won't say that in 10 or 20 years, this may be all the rage in coin collecting is to find this 56 Double 5 bar? </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not disagreeing with Physics statement by any means, because what he writes is true, but we should not forget that every coin at one time was new and never really commanded value right off the press. Value was later determined by supply and demand and ultimately, popularity. The Bugs Bunny Half is popular and people are willing to pay a few more bucks for it. The 56 double bar not so popular.......yet..... and only time will tell what people will pay. In the mean time, I am holding onto mine and I have found another coin to start cherrypicking. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
