<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 3175059, member: 24544&quot;]I looked at the link to your references, thanks for sharing them.&nbsp; I stand by my position, these are minor DDOs.</p><p><br /></p><p>To the larger question of my intent, you have me 100% wrong.&nbsp; I am not downplaying the OPs coin, or other people&#039;s interest in these coins AT ALL.&nbsp; I am simply pointing out that once a collector is down this rabbit hole, and we are all down one or another numismatic rabbit hole so I&#039;m not judging your choice, why not expand to small cent by die variety.&nbsp; Because at this level of die shift, you are basically just looking at diagnostic indicators for a specific die.&nbsp; Why not expand to other diagnostic markers of specific varieties and collect those as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am NOT arguing that people shouldn&#039;t collect that way, I am in fact making the case that people should expand what they consider important varieties, and collect more of them.&nbsp; As an aside, I started in numismatics by collecting late date large cents by variety, so I have no room to judge people who get excited about minor diagnostic marks on a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
