<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3147544, member: 76086"]Sorry, but a popularity contest is all it is, as are all such contests. I mean, the question is which is most popular (phrased any way). Still the same. I dont mean to disparage anyones opinion. I often wonder if others see the same thing I do in a coin, but I was late to submit and cannot see if others like coins that I do.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I dont doubt that it would win. It would. Hands down, just by reputation. Despite any condition it represents such a tremendous moment in history. If one of our members submitted one I think it would win. There are plenty of historical events which might compare, but I doubt any could compare in the average (and popular) mind of the average person.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>True. I have handled countless unique coins. Rarity means nothing unless one or more persons have an interest. Silly collectors of modern coins might pay 100 Million Dollars but might also be able to pay $5 for a unique ancient. Go figure.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
