[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4855067, member: 101855"]You don’t really know if a coin or variety is rare until you put the information out there and have collectors check out what they have. I don’t have a problem with the rarity estimates changing; I have a problem with made up facts. For example Breen criticized the subtle changes in the Seated design by Robert Ball Hughes because of an excessive sense of modesty toward the human body. What a bunch of nonsense! I would still recommend the book because no other book covers so many subjects. None of those who totally slam this book, perhaps because of Breen’s reprehensible behavior, have never come close to duplicating it.[/QUOTE]
