<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1941527, member: 112&quot;]I won&#039;t disagree that some might think of it as &quot;rare&quot; Mike. But something I&#039;ll never understand is how anybody can consider a coin with roughly 25,000 examples available as scarce, let alone rare. The TPGs have graded 2,000 of these coins, that alone takes them far out of the scarce category.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just to put things into perspective, using the two most common rarity scales, Sheldon and the URS, Sheldon would designate this coin as an R1 - the scale runs from R1 to R8 with R1 being the most common. Scarce begins at R3, rare begins at R5. The URS (Universal Rarity Scale) runs from 1 to 20 with 20 being the most common. The &#039;97 matte would be designated as a URS 16.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
