<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2681097, member: 19463&quot;]Mine was well under the 2004 level when I bought it in November 2016.&nbsp; Part (big part?) of the discount was due to the cracks but I wanted it because of, not in spite of, the mintmark and style.&nbsp; Taken all together, this is not a super rare type but there are specialists like David that know the differences and pay for rarity.&nbsp; There are generalists like me who don&#039;t but I suspect I could show a coin of Septimius Severus here that meant every bit as much to me and the only person here who could pick it out of a lineup would be Martin (and he might think I am a fool!).&nbsp; Similarly we have Victor who could slip a Constantine by most of us and Oki who has been known to show an occasional Hadrian that sailed clean over my head.&nbsp; These varieties of people are what makes this place fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
