<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 25376234, member: 1765&quot;]Bowers&#039; Universal Rarity Scale (URS) is garbage.&nbsp; There.&nbsp; I said it.&nbsp; The traditional Sheldon scale, if adapted to population realities of each type, actually has some meaning with respect to how difficult it is to acquire any given variety as compared to a common one, which is what ends up mattering in the marketplace.&nbsp; Absolute rarity is meaningless without context.&nbsp; URS-10 means something totally different to a Fugio collector from what it does to a Mercury dime collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Sheldon-style numbers were used on Morgan and Peace dollars but are no longer because of abuse and inaccuracies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
