<p>[QUOTE="bditto39, post: 4536265, member: 107194"]The reason he thinks they are rare and desirable is the fact he has some and wants then to be valuable. I think many have been there and done that in the past, but some can't get past it. They are cool. I support studying them and identifying the stages of these breaks. I even think the name is fine since it will help newer numismatists who want to get into errors and varieties remember and look for them. But to say they are rare or push them to be valuable is just wishful thinking on a valueless group of varieties. One reason there may be so few is that noone has looked for them. I sure haven't. But I guess if these become a desirable variety people will look. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the coins that solidified my variety interest was the "spitting horse" Delaware quarters. At first they were "rare" and people paid ridiculous amounts for a well-placed die crack. Now they are neat but not the "rare and valuable" coins their initial proponents made them out to be. Im glad they were discovered and I like them in my collection, but I had to accept that they are not valuable and not as rare as initially hoped for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
