<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2295375, member: 36230"]It's really a false comparison; other than both being coins, the similarities are few and far between. One, as a type/date/mint is extremely well known, popular, and in demand even though it's far from scarce. It's also needed to complete an extremely popular set whIle being a fairly popular type coin as well. The other, while scarce (I'd love to know where the survival estimate came from), is of a type that isn't that widely collected (for a variety of reasons), not overly popular, and the legitimate supply is sufficient to meet demand. Half dimes, right or wrong and while certainly fine coins, generally don't carry the same interest levels (beyond type coins) as other larger types, even in the same design category, do. There are many factors involved and due to them, fortunately or unfortunately, it isn't quite as simply saying X is "underrated". The situation with other LS coins can and sometimes is different.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand though, and depending on how one wishes to look at it, the lack of popularity and demand can allow for collecting opportunities for those who care more about the coins than their arguable potential.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
