<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2573433, member: 1765&quot;]You have to take the R-numbers with a grain of salt.&nbsp; They are estimates based on how likely it should have been that a given variety was already discovered and how long the die lasted after producing a given variety (for those varieties that are based on die decay).&nbsp; The VAM 1N3 (retained cud), which is the $95 coin pictured, is the most desirable of the listed VAM 1N die stages, as it is the latest, and pretty scarce relative to other 21-D varieties.&nbsp; Keep in mind, however, that there are hundreds of die pairs for 21-D, so while finding 1 of these in 10 well-mixed rolls might make it seem rare, that would merely represent an average rarity for a 21-D variety.&nbsp; VAM 1N3, however, is rarer than that, based on observations and the very late die stage of the retained cud.&nbsp; In general, any retained cud or full cud on a Morgan dollar is highly desirable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
