<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 3242543, member: 86853&quot;]Since these scales are all human-made, they can be defined any way we want. Yes, in numismatics, scarce generally means more common than rare. However, the meaning of both terms is completely context-dependent. PCGS and NGC have slabbed over 9,500 1893-S Morgans, and that is supposed to be the &quot;King.&quot; There is not a single variety of half cent that is as common as the slabbed population of 1893-S Morgans. There are also more slabbed 1909-S VDBs than there are slabbed half cents of all dates combined. &quot;Scarce&quot; and &quot;rare&quot; are relative terms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
