<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3445873, member: 92083&quot;]Adjectives mean nothing to collectors unless they are official grades, like extremely fine or very good. All the &quot;verys&quot; in front of a word do nothing for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the whole &quot;scarce&quot; vs. &quot;rare&quot; thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Normally, &quot;rare&quot; means there are fewer known than &quot;scarce&quot; in numismatics. How strong demand is for a date or series is not factored in. Then there are rarity scales, but those are kind of useless as are population reports. Why? They don&#039;t factor in people resubmitting coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>And in Economics, &quot;scarce&quot; means there are more people looking for an item than there are items available, so here demand kicks in. &quot;Rare&quot; means there aren&#039;t many available, but if there are only 3 total items and only one person wants one, despite being rare the item is not scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, it depends in what context you are using it.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Joe C.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
