<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1082835, member: 112&quot;]OK, I&#039;ll tell ya - Marlboro <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And as you should know by now, I have never, ever, had any interest in varieties of any kind. And I don&#039;t pretend to know anything about varieties, never have. But when somebody ask a question about a subject that I can recall reading about, I am happy to supply whatever information I have run across. Isn&#039;t that how you share knowledge ? But the information is not mine nor is it my opinion on the subject. I merely report what there is to share.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe. But then again maybe they are right. Maybe they know something you don&#039;t ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, we know he certainly made some mistakes in his books, but he was right about a whole lot more things than he was wrong about. And can you name even a single person who hasn&#039;t made some mistakes in their books ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The issue is this - it is not at all uncommon for there to be differing opinions among experts. Especially when it comes to varieties. This expert says this and another says that - and they are exact opposites. So what does a wise person do when they run across differing opinions on something like that ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t know about you but when something like does catch my interest I try to find out for myself. I do a bit of looking into things to see just what is what. I try to find out what history says by looking at stuff like past auctions and pop reports. That can sometimes provide you with information to see which expert is most likely correct. Maybe not definitively correct, but most likely correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly enough the pop reports from realized auctions, when comparing apples to apples, say that the &#039;59 type one and type two are about equal in numbers in the 65 FBL and 66 FBL grades. </p><p><br /></p><p>There weren&#039;t enough auctions to check 65 non FBL type one and two or 66 non FBL type one and two, but you can look for yourself if you want - <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=MS%20type%20one&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+376&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=MS%20type%20one&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+376&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" rel="nofollow">MS type one search</a>&nbsp; - <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=MS%20type%20two&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+376&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=MS%20type%20two&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+376&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" rel="nofollow">MS type two search</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I look at prices to see what variety typically sells for more money because as a general rule the more scarce variety will bring the higher prices. In that regard it seems that the type one would be the scarce variety because it brings the higher prices more times than not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Type One realized auctions - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=350&amp;Lot_No=546" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=350&amp;Lot_No=546" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=350&amp;Lot_No=546</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=4220" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=4220" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=4220</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1136&amp;Lot_No=2761" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1136&amp;Lot_No=2761" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1136&amp;Lot_No=2761</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Type Two realized auctions - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=359&amp;Lot_No=1391" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=359&amp;Lot_No=1391" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=359&amp;Lot_No=1391</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=4221" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=4221" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=394&amp;Lot_No=4221</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=400&amp;Lot_No=1571" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=400&amp;Lot_No=1571" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=400&amp;Lot_No=1571</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now you can make whatever you want of the information.
