[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 25469421, member: 101855"]Early copper collectors are very big into die breaks. They trace them and classify them as die states. I am not a big fan of this. When there are only a few hundred nice collector coins of a certain fairly common variety, it doesn't take many big collectors long to own a significant part of the market. That leaves fewer coins from the smaller collectors and the people who might be getting into it for the first time. That is an unpopular view, but it's the way I feel. Most people don't realize how much rarer early 19th century coins are than the modern coins which most people collect.[/QUOTE]
