[QUOTE="lehmansterms, post: 7858028, member: 80804"]A man awakens from a vivid dream of the Serengeti plains to the sound of hoofbeats in the street. Sitting up, he exclaims: "Aha! Yes! I knew it! zebras!" Wishful thinking is fine so long as you can keep it in perspective - it's really easy (and natural) to see horses as zebras when dreaming expansive dreams. Additionally, in the unofficial numismatic dictionary: "Rare = you don't have one". (corollary: if you have one, it's really unlikely to be rare) Regard any seller's use of the term "Rare" as suspicious at best and worth checking into - 99 "rare" coins on an ebay page and 1 that isn't called rare should raise serious questions about what the word really means. That's an exaggeration, of course, but some sellers (pathetically) call everything "rare" in hopes of greater sales to the uninformed.[/QUOTE]
