<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2010378, member: 19463&quot;]A difference I see here is that JA&#039;s rarity is a very nice coin with good detail and full legends/mintmark.&nbsp; If I were going to pay a lot for a minor type of this ruler, this would be the coin I would buy.&nbsp; In fact, I do buy rare coins of this definition when I can.&nbsp; I don&#039;t buy many coins of CII but when I do I tend to buy coins with something going for them.&nbsp; I see this as like a US collector who does not have a complete set of Lincoln cents or even a complete set of Wheats but has a representative set of the better items (an S-VDB, 14D, 20 plain, MS steelie, 55double die).&nbsp; We may not require owning them all but we still might enjoy having coins not everyone does.&nbsp; One of the major minds in our hobby regularly makes the point that the most common sentiment of coin collectors is pride in showing off things they have that you don&#039;t.&nbsp; What is it that makes a 1913 Liberty nickel better than a 1912?&nbsp; You don&#039;t have much chance of having one and not much interest in having the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
