<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 372801, member: 12965&quot;]The &quot;rarity system&quot; I used was word of mouth. I was told a R-1 was Very Common and R-2 was &quot;Common&quot; and CoinFacts lists the coin in question as Common:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1798_large_cents/1798_large_cent_sheldon_174.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1798_large_cents/1798_large_cent_sheldon_174.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1798_large_cents/1798_large_cent_sheldon_174.htm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a R-2 isn&#039;t Common, then what is the R rating for Common?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I&#039;m still a toad-in-training and still learning about all this stuff. Thanks for the link to the Rarity Scale. I&#039;ve been wanting something like that and hadn&#039;t found it yet and now I don&#039;t have to look for it. :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: The seller listed his coin as a R-2 but said there were only 2 known, which is a URS-2, or R-8 or 9, and no where near the same as a R-2.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ppps: I just finished reading the link above and see the Sheldon Scale says Common is a R-1 so the auction in question is in error with their stipulation their coin is a R-2.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pppps: Does anyone know for a fact what Rating Scale CoinFacts uses on rarity ratings and does the scale differ depending on the coin in question (Sheldon for certain coins, like the one in question and Overton for Capped Bust Half-Dollars, etc...)?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ppppps: I thought I&#039;d say it now, in case someone was wondering about all the &quot;pps&#039;s&quot;, speaking as a toad, we usually use an apostrophe just before the &quot;s&quot; so that should explain why I leave &quot;pp&#039;s&quot; all over the place. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
