Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2446957, member: 112"]Yes, a perfect example, of this - If you couple your quote directly above, with your initial post in this thread, you come up with what I am describing people doing directly above. In other words it's an attempt to justify, for oneself, buying coins like the one you picture above. People want to believe that there is a reason, over and above their liking a coin, for buying it. They want to feel good about buying it, about owning it, to justify what they have to pay for it. And they often want others to see it the same way, they want others to like it too, to confirm for them that they made a good decision. And trying to come with some way of defining these coins as "rare" or "relatively rare" is how they do that. In other words it's nothing more than trying to hang a label on something that doesn't fit or in any way accurately describe what it's being hung on. Well, here's what I'd say about that. If you need to hang a label on something just so you feel good about buying it and owning it - then you probably shouldn't buy it. Every coin you buy, any coin you buy - if you like it, that's enough. That's the one and only thing that matters ! You don't need somebody, anybody, else to agree with you - you are the only one that counts. But if you have to convince yourself, let alone anybody else - well then there's a problem.[/QUOTE]
