<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1364168, member: 25270&quot;]I frequently chuckle/get frustrated when I see eBay listings described as rare when the coin has 20 million mintage. Some sellers throw it out there just to get you to look. But I think that there are more rare coins listed because people know they will sell for a lot, so it&#039;s worth their time. If you need to raise $500 for a mortgage payment, do you sell that one coin or 500 others? As many others have said, rare is a matter of perspective. A U.S. coin with less than 1 million mintage is fairly rare, but for some nations, they never produce that many for any year. I&#039;ve been trying to buy older coins from Belize (aka British Honduras) and most of those have mintages between 10,000-40,000. I&#039;d consider those more rare. Many Irish coins have less than 1 million made, but they sell for a few dollars each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
