<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CappedBustDimes, post: 901572, member: 9104&quot;]Most of us that collect any series by die marriage collect/prefer raw coins because even with most coins being eligible for registry sets by way of the genuine designation...the fees associated with variety attribution are cost prohibitive....and that&#039;s assuming the TPG gets the attribution correct!&nbsp; Currently, I would never use the PR only on NGC/PCGS coins as it pertains to rare marriages as they probably anomalies.&nbsp; But, when it comes to rare marriages one can throw any and all price guides/research out the window.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, within each series that is collected by die marriage...many collectors swap or sell duplicates at a fraction of what some so-called tougher varieties sell for on the open market.&nbsp; And many times collectors will use patience and keen eye along with knowledge of PUPs in order to cherry pick hard to find marriages at type prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another factor maybe in play is a rare or common die may be in a sought after or needed die state.&nbsp; This is often the case with me as I only collect a select number of specific die marriages/remarriages of certain years in order to put together die state progressions or emission sequences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
