<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1790851, member: 19463"]I almost bid on that last one but am glad I did not since it went to a good home. The Phoenix is less common that the other FTR types because it was the smallest of the three original denominations. Inflation being worse then than it is now, it was no time until the smaller coins were not considered useful and the larger denominations were reduced in size. The Phoenix types should be of similar scarcity to the falling horsemen with A in the fields that weigh close to 5g. Picky people would say this last coin has a problem with those edge nips but the fact that I was considering bidding on it should suggest that I thought it was a deal. I might have been swayed a bit by the fact I have a couple similar coins so I might prefer a really significant upgrade if I am buying another. IMHO the two should look nice together to demonstrate the rocks and globe options. Congratulations.[ATTACH]288977[/ATTACH][ATTACH]288978[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
