<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 3752769, member: 107435&quot;]I primarily collect English and Irish copper pattern coins, so the question for me is really about survival rate versus condition. The majority of these coins are rare and do not often come up for sale outside of auctions. The upside of this is that most are high grade. The downside is that they are expensive. I have a tight budget, so the super rare pieces are out of my reach. With that said, I have added a few pieces that Peck lists as extremely rare. I cherrypicked most of these from auctions over the last couple of years. In general, these coins come up for sale in bursts, so it is not uncommon for there to be multiple items of interest. When this happens, I focus my attention on the pieces that come up for sale the least often. I base this judgment on TPG records and auction archives for both raw and certified examples of the same type. This method allows me to allocate my limited resources toward items that will be the most difficult for me to obtain later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
