<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 2557929, member: 72642&quot;]Many of you seem to be confusing the <b>rarity </b>of a coin with the <b>condition </b>of the coin.&nbsp; The two aspects (while, of course) both important have nothing to do with each other.&nbsp; For example, the highest graded Morgan dollar of all time is a single 1880-S MS-69 PL.&nbsp; This is a rare GRADE--not a rare COIN.</p><p><img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B7%2F0%2F2%2F5%2F7025455%5D%2Csizedata%5B850x600%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, I have held three or four examples of 1796 half dollars.&nbsp; With an estimated survival of under 100 coins in all grades these are rare COINS.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/bustchaser/1796o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, although I have held both I own neither of these coins.&nbsp; I &quot;borrowed&quot; the pics.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
