Message:: [QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1924643, member: 30970"]Guess the discovery and labeling it "major" created quite the hubbub. I guess a lot of people reading these threads (both here and at the PCGS forums) are not as involved with variety searching as others. That is fine, and if they don't find it major, they are entitled to that opinion. But what I read on the other forum about this just being a "pump up"? Seriously? Some people are just excited for possibly the largest doubled die of the single-squeeze hubbing era, not trying to push an agenda to inflate the prices! People saying it is way too minor and will barely be worth a couple bucks need to look at even more MINOR varieties, like the 1988-D RDV-006. Pretty much the only way to tell that one is a few die markers and looking at the initials on the back under magnification, and those go for $200+ in AU. And of course, the whole "electron microscope" thing is a bit of an exaggeration, some people just may not have the patience or would not consider something best seen with 10x to be "major". Anyways, I'm glad that some people share the same enthusiasm that I do with this discovery, and hopefully people that may not be as psyched can gain a little bit of a better understanding of this small niche of collectors.[/QUOTE]
