<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oi!, post: 2133204, member: 73631&quot;]Why do you have to draw a line somewhere? Really at its basic level a variety is just a coin struck by a die which transfers unique characteristics that enables an individual to attribute that coin to the specific working die that struck it. It is very rare where a die produces a variation of such extreme that it causes the mint to retire that die early from coin production. Generally speaking the coin presented by the OP in this thread, if its unique characteristics can be determined, is just as rare as a coin attributed to a die exhibiting a greater more noticeable spread. Being both dies probably struck approximately the same number of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>The comment about equal rarity is a great point. I never thought of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The line I was referring to would be similar to one that attributers set to determine what is considered a minor variety. I think what I should have said was that <i>I</i> need to draw a line somewhere. Am I going to collect every single variety no matter how noticeable or weak or will I stick with the major and dramatic varieties only[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
