<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2630951, member: 1892&quot;]Well, understand I&#039;m only seeing half of your conversation; you&#039;re discussing this with somebody I have on Ignore. If the root subject was a variety-level Registry, I was unaware and can agree with everything you say (not that I don&#039;t anyways). One of the appeals of numismatics is that you can enjoy it on whatever level of specialization you want - conceding that understanding generalized grading and values is a prerequisite - and it&#039;s only for the truly hardcore to delve deep into arcane variety designations. Nothing&#039;s stopping anyone from collecting a simple Date Set of Early Large Cents or Bust Halves, even though the majority of collectors specializing in each concentrate on individual varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This was a <b>good</b> thing, because the advance of learning didn&#039;t so much cause people to lose track as it did define the (obvious if you think it through) fact that there are <b>very, very few</b> &quot;major&quot; added-value varieties. There <b>shouldn&#039;t</b> be very many attempting to collect the die pairs of an issue which had half a billion examples minted. It&#039;s a path to psychological ruin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
