[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3493959, member: 56653"]In the case of medieval coins things are often more extreme, with issues that can be dated to the exact day when the series began being minted to coins so unlikely that nobody even presumed might exist. There are also issues that we know existed from the royal ordonnances of the kings of France for instance, but are yet to be identified in the available material or further discoveries. For the Crusader states statistics have been made by taking into account the known dies and the rate of die combinations and the results were that many million such coins had been struck during the reigns of the Kings of Jerusalem for instance, and a very likely probability exists that coins on the market were recalled to be restruck by the new administration. All these things have a mark to leave on relative and general rarity but not necessarily on desirability. For a collector desirability is oftentime the driving factor, for a numismatist rare, ugly and unlikely is better.[/QUOTE]
