<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 579384, member: 9204&quot;]Absolutely true. But I feel it would be entirely too easy to question the rarity of the coin. The design itself is common as dirt (Jefferson/Monticello). The date itself is common, obviously. That leaves the distinction of the Special Mint Set. Though I confess I&#039;m not sure, I presume its only distinguishable by closely examining the dies. Honestly, if I have to use a microscope to distinguish the difference, is it truly rare?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there is conditional rarity. But that never impressed me much, particularly in the fictional MS grades. </p><p><br /></p><p>Damn, after reading this through, I realized I&#039;m starting a flame war. I&#039;m sorry guys, it is still a nice coin, even though we disagree a bit. What we&#039;re really getting into here is the nature of rarity and what is collectible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
