<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2445097, member: 78153&quot;]What you are attempting to describe seems to be somewhat similar to the third definition I included in one of my prior posts here; in the minimum quality most collectors are willing to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is your definition, then yes, I think it has relevance.&nbsp; However, this still would not apply to your prior example of the 2017 ASE.&nbsp; In your hypothetical, this coin is scarcer than other ASE and therefore relatively &quot;rare&quot; but it is still meaningless because the 1MM mintage you used precludes no one from buying it.&nbsp; I have never heard of any coin with that supply not being available on demand.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same is equally true of coins with a combination of much lower mintages but concurrent (very) high survival rates in &quot;high&quot; quality, often as low as in the hundreds.&nbsp; These coins are among the rarest both in absolute numbers and relatively but still not hard to buy.&nbsp; These might not be available on demand but if not, likely within weeks or at most a few months.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
