<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3588700, member: 93702&quot;]I own common coins - so this question is just for me to understand a little better what I read here so I can attempt to process it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do enjoy when someone finds a die match and shares it here.. I think the digital tools to find matches are awesome! From my limited knowledge these are my assumptions (I am posting this to be corrected):</p><p><br /></p><p>-If you find a die match this reinforces that fact that the coin is genuine</p><p>-The &quot;cool&quot; factor (not to be minimized) that you have obtained a coin that was struck at a very similar time (hours/days?) to another coin in your collection (or another collection/publication).. that in itself is pretty amazing.</p><p>-I have also seen &quot;rarity&quot; placed on coins because they are NOT a die match? This confuses me a bit - if this is the case the total # of examples for this coin design (from any dies) must be extremely low... so all are rare?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I struggle with the term &quot;rare&quot;.. not a term I have enough experience to use with any confidence... any clarification on what determines a coin to be &quot;rare&quot; is appreciated and any information on die matches would also be nice....</p><p><br /></p><p>As always - thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
