[QUOTE="tibor, post: 3984255, member: 73385"]When considering whether or not a coin is rare there are many factors. For instance, how many are actually available to collectors. It is nice to know how many are in museums, but if they are not available for purchase by collectors then their population is not that significant to the collector. Nice to know, not really relevant. Condition is important. Most Ides of March coins are severely struck off center. A truly nice piece that is well struck will bring BIG money. In my collection I have several pieces that make the Ides of March coins seem very common by comparison. There is very little demand for the coins I collect. Thank God!! So what is available to the collector, condition and demand play in whether a coin can be called "RARE". I would call the Ides of March coin rare to very rare because there is quite a bit of demand for the coin, especially in well centered condition.[/QUOTE]
