<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 8170083, member: 19463"]I'm not sure how we are to define "uncommon" for coins. Standard catalogs like RIC break minor detains down and rate scarcity according to the number of their museum contacts that have that variety. Many collectors either are satisfied with one coin of a ruler or desire to assemble the set of a few thousand variations. In this case, I consider the basic type pretty common mostly because I have one. Of course it is not an exact match for yours. Words like "uncommon" are very hard to define considering the great difference in the definition of "different" as well as "uncommon". Add to that the number of collectors who demand only "perfect" coins when some issues were never made to a standard they would call even "acceptable". I don't specialize in these so this one is all I am ever likely to own. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1427083[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
