<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2109611, member: 15199&quot;]Matty, the use of the term &quot;rare&quot; is quite different and separate from the words &quot;valuable , desired, hard to obtain, etc.&quot; . Rare means distinctive, uncommon, infrequent, thinly distributed, and similar. So yes since there were tremendous number of normal mint issued and just a tiny fraction of those have been gold plated , they are &quot;rare&quot; ~ uncommon, but not valuable, desired ( except for a few), etc. The coins generally found in a coin shop &quot; RARE COINS ,bought and sold&quot; would deal in coins that are uncommon from pocket type, but many would not qualify as valuable, hard to obtain, etc. Since you and your family assembled the set, it is &quot;rare&quot; and of tremendous value to you in the future, value it as family , not as coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
