<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2082391, member: 19463&quot;]My only comment relates to the matter of collectors assuming a coin with 89 varieties being common.&nbsp; I tend to agree with this attitude.&nbsp; Unless you are a specialist in an issue, you probably don&#039;t care so much which of the minor variations you have.&nbsp; People might like the left facer or one with a fancy bust but 89 varieties means there are at least 89 dies and the RIC rarity numbers really don&#039;t apply at the general level most general collectors find significant.&nbsp; I believe you have a page that discusses the meanings of the RIC rarities and it is certainly true that an R4 because of a wandering dot means a lot less to most people than a coin with one variety, a unique reverse and a high R rating.&nbsp; Rather than mentioning this in passing, I suggest you either explain what form of rare caused each of these 89 to get those ratings and why we should care or just provide a link to your other page where the matter is discussed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I do agree Fortuna is a rare type relatively.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have one.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have not looked for one but would have picked one up had I stumbled upon it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
