<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4601075, member: 26302&quot;]I didn&#039;t want to be disrespectful on the US thread so am posting here. I was just laughing. They had a question about value of a &quot;rare&quot; 1878 CC silver dollar. Here is the link posted showing auction history.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/details/1878-cc-ms/7080?dtc=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/details/1878-cc-ms/7080?dtc=false" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/details/1878-cc-ms/7080?dtc=false</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I was laughing is it is only one date/mm combination for a Morgan. They have dozens upon dozens. It is the &quot;rare&quot; CC mintmark, (probably tens of millions survive). Just for that one &quot;rare&quot; date/mm combination, the link shows sales of almost 10,000 examples over 12 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Boy, definitions of &quot;rare&quot; are sure arbitrary huh? A common coin in our world has maybe a few thousand in existence, save for things like certain LRB, Judaic copper, and Athenian owls. We have &quot;scarce&quot; coins that maybe 15 are sold over a 12 year period. A rare coin may not come on the market for your lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, I think I have just been around ancients too long. US collectors are now hilarious to me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
