<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 8218741, member: 13650&quot;]If you&#039;re frustrated over that you better not wade into the US type.&nbsp;&nbsp; This scenario plays out over and over.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t worry about it that much.&nbsp; Sometimes I&#039;ll settle for a lower grade of a rarer type for my own satisfaction.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just got an 1823/2 Large Es CB dime to fill that slot.&nbsp; 440,000 minted but only about 2-3k estimated left in existence.&nbsp; &nbsp; They are definitely harder to find than the other dates.&nbsp; I got that one because I like interesting differences on the capped bust series but it&#039;s a tougher date and not as nice of an example as I could have gotten.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The modern cents are the most confusing.&nbsp; You get into business strike, special satin finish, proof, reverse proofs, all different point totals.&nbsp; I suppose the system is complicated enough for them without recognizing additional points for rarer specimens but I would take the points if they gave them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
