<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2810970, member: 78244&quot;]I get the thrill of the hunt as far as cherrypicking rare varieties (and apparently die states now) for cheap (which is what you two do, and what I try to do for resale), but what I don&#039;t get is what makes people pay so much more for a variety simply for the sake of being that variety. What makes the 1800 S-NC-1 so much more special than the S-196? I don&#039;t see a difference that&#039;s worth 5000 times a very similar coin. Sure, it&#039;s rare, but is that the only interesting thing about it? The common S-196 has the same theoretical chance of being held by the founding fathers as the uber-rare NC-1. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong. I love large cents as they have a lot of character. Some varieties and die states are indeed interesting (S-48, S-121b, etc.), and are understandably worth a premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
