<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2926966, member: 19463&quot;]When I see coins known to exist in only one or two specimens, I have to wonder how many varieties were made that did not survive at all.&nbsp; Any dedicated specialist collector who sticks with one topic for a long time is quite likely to own one coin that is otherwise unknown.&nbsp; Some become more common over time as other examples turn up but some don&#039;t.&nbsp; Keeping track of known rarities can be a problem when some are sold only once every 50 years or so.&nbsp; It can be longer if a collection is passed down from parent to (grand)child.&nbsp; Congratulations to the coin which found a good home where it is appreciated.&nbsp; May all interesting coins be so lucky.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
