<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2154392, member: 15019"]Every time I look on eBay, I see a handful of 1933 dated coins being described as the rare and/or valuable "deep hairlines" (in the hair on the bust) variety with asking prices comparable to this variety for 1932 and 1938 dated coins. Even <a href="http://www.apmex.com/product/77185/1933-netherlands-silver-2-1-2-guilders-deep-hair-lines" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com/product/77185/1933-netherlands-silver-2-1-2-guilders-deep-hair-lines" rel="nofollow">Apmex has done it.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is, there is no variety for 1933... all of the coins have deep hairlines on the bust. This is [yet another] careless mistake made by Krause publications, which was then taken up by sites that import the data, like Numismaster and the NGC world coins price guide. I believe Krause has fixed the error in recent editions and I don't have a Numismaster subscription to check.
