<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1861996, member: 112&quot;]Like I said, works for me. In other words I think it&#039;s just fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for rare, there are many well known rarity scales. The one that would apply to what you want to do would the Bowers Universal Rarity Scale - </p><p><br /></p><p><i>The Universal Rarity Scale by Q. David Bowers</i></p><p><i>URS-0 None known</i></p><p><i>URS-1 1 known, unique</i></p><p><i>URS-2 2 known</i></p><p><i>URS-3 3 or 4 known</i></p><p><i>URS-4 5 to 8 known</i></p><p><i>URS-5 9 to 16 known</i></p><p><i>URS-6 17 to 32 known</i></p><p><i>URS-7 33 to 64 known</i></p><p><i>URS-8 65 to 125 known</i></p><p><i>URS-9 126 to 250 known</i></p><p><i>URS-10 251 to 500 known&nbsp; &nbsp; </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>URS-11 501 to 1,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-12 1,001 to 2,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-13 2,001 to 4,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-14 4,001 to 8,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-15 8,001 to 16,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-16 16,001 to 32,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-17 32,001 to 65,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-18 65,001 to 125,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-19 125,001 to 250,000 known</i></p><p><i>URS-20 250,001 to 500,000 known</i></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see, there are 4 listings before you even get to one that has more than 8 known examples. So using 10 or less to define &quot;rare&quot; is not so far off the mark, at least in regard to the rarity scales that have been long established, and thus the reason for my comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s your work, you do what you think best and what works for you. I am merely making suggestions as you asked for.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t be so sure that it&#039;s pie in the sky dreams. As I mentioned earlier, an idea such as the one you came up with would be a huge seller, and I do mean that. And I have reasons for saying so. Number one among them is that I have been involved with coin forums for as long as coin forums have existed. And one of the most often asked questions and things that people requests is a compiled list showing key and semi- key dates for coins of all series. No such animal exist, never has existed because no one has ever done the work.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if you did do the work, I have absolutely no doubt that publishers would be falling all over themselves trying to give you advances so they could be the one to publish your work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pie in the sky ?
