<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1636279, member: 4626&quot;]Well just get an 03 or an 04, looks the same except for the date, and is a lot cheaper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it&#039;s just me, but rare types make me want to an own a coin.&nbsp; Rare dates just make me wish I had it to sell, for money to by more common coins.&nbsp; Why I collect by type rather than by date I guess.&nbsp; The number &quot;6&quot; just isn&#039;t that exciting to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; This thread was resurrected just to show another picture of a fake, which as you (the OP, not mumu) say are more common than the real ones?&nbsp; And a worse fake than you already posted a picture of.&nbsp; Er, what&#039;s the point of that?&nbsp; I could have figured out that one was fake and I&#039;ve never even seen these outside of pictures.&nbsp; I mean, clearly you know a lot about these and glad you&#039;re sharing your knowledge with us, but that doesn&#039;t seem to be that interesting thing to add.&nbsp; A pic of a real one you just found, now that would be something.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know, maybe I&#039;m just to cynical to appreciate rare coins that look just like common coins but with a different date on them.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard for me to think of some coin as the holy grail when it looks like millions of other grails but with a different number on the side.&nbsp; But well, to each their own.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen one of the 1933 double eagles up close (one of the 10 confiscated from Israel Switt&#039;s descendants, that the government put on display in Denver in 2006) and it did look nice... but well, I&#039;ve seen more common ones that look just as nice, some even nicer.&nbsp; The &quot;there&#039;s only 13 of these known to exist (though there could be hundreds of others hiding somewhere for all we know), and only one of them is in private hands&quot; just didn&#039;t give me that much of a thrill looking at it.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t feel it I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well good (if rather obvious) advice; if you have that kind of money to throw around educate yourself before buying something like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
