[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2043452, member: 15929"]Everybody is familiar with Kim but the question is: What has she done to obtain such popularity? My first recollection of this popular lady was in a story about how she and Paris Hilton were friends. Now Paris, being the heiress of a multimillion dollar Hotel Chain certainly deserves her recognition. But Kardashian? Before her popularity began, she was the daughter of an attorney and nothing more. Back to coins. In a recent thread on CU, a fellow poster was posting about his 1916 3 Leg Buffalo Nickel which got me to think. What is so freaking unusual about a 3 leg Buffalo Nickel that it can command such a premium in the market place? PCGS alone has better than 7,000 of these coins in its population Report yet an MS63 example can still command better than 5 grand! What the heck? It's a die abraded coin. Nothing really unusual about this since many coins have die abrasion which cause missing elements. It's a relatively high population coin that can be found relatively easy at any coin show. So what's up with it? Is it the ultimate Kim Kardashian of Koins? Can you think of any other coins that have high populations, and are readily available yet are inexplicably popular and expensive amongst the masses as to qualify as a Kim Kardashian of Koinz?[/QUOTE]
