[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2289989, member: 1892"]For some numismatists - myself among them - varieties are the draw. Those minute little differences are [I]information, [/I]and that's what it's all about. :) You gotta keep a realistic perspective about what they mean, though. If there are 5000 combined Morgan and Peace VAMs, 4800 of them carry zero additional value and zero additional interest to the non-specialist. And this is something we fail to communicate to newer collectors effectively; too often it comes across as something resembling derision especially when coming from those who aren't much into die varieties and feel that "value" can only be monetary. Thank you for framing this discussion in a more friendly fashion than that. :)[/QUOTE]
