<p>[QUOTE="swish513, post: 2489825, member: 22068"]I would disagree with this point. I have a coin that I purchased under the RIC Rarity as being 2 to 3 know, then found a source that says as many as 5 exist, then have been proven here on CT that as many as 7 exist, all the while everyone tells me the RIC under estimates it's rarity scale/rating. Based upon my experience, and granted it is limited when it comes to rare coins, and no, the previously mentioned coin is not my only "rare" coin. The RIC and other sources are wrong, as more exist than they know about, not the other way around. Nothing is "rarer" than what is listed by experts that have studied those coins for decades. See the 1933 Double Eagle and its history. First none exist, then 1, then 11, now 15. 1 Legally exists, 2 others are in the Smithsonian, but the government didn't obtain 10 fakes from that family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
