[QUOTE="shanxi, post: 3588722, member: 101607"]It seems contradictory, but it's not. The rarer a coin is, the easier it is to find a die match. For a very rare type for which only one pair of dies exists, all specimens are die matches. It can be quite difficult to find a specimen at all, but then it is automatically a die match. With common coins, which means many different dies, you may have to look at hundreds of examples until you find a die match. This is much more time consuming.[/QUOTE]
