<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 89143, member: 112&quot;]All too many people think grade rarity is a phenomena associated with modern coins only - but it isn&#039;t at all. Grade rarity exist with coins of all ages - even the ancients. Problem is most folks don&#039;t consider it unusual with older coins because they expect the older coins to be hard to find in higher grades and they don&#039;t balk at the prices even a little bit. And that&#039;s partly because most people associate value with age - the older it is, the more it should be worth. But the reality of it is that many older coins are as common as the moderns - there really is no rarity - except in certain grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now don&#039;t take me wrong here - certainly there are rare coins. But truly rare coins are very few and far between. Most of the coins that the average collector considers rare are actually very common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
