<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 28378, member: 112&quot;]Works for me - but what about the coins that don&#039;t have any defects ?</p><p><br /></p><p>You guys wanna know what really drives me crazy ? It&#039;s how a great many of collectors always rag on &amp; on about condition rarities for modern coins. But show them an MS67, let alone an MS68 Morgan dollar and they&#039;ll oooooooh &amp; awwwwwww for two weeks like it&#039;s the greatest thing in the world and as rare as hen&#039;s teeth. But I got news for ya - it aint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Guys, condition rarities exist for all coins - and I don&#039;t care how old they are. But that&#039;s what makes them rare - their condition. Morgan dollars are not rare - not even close. They are as common as common can be. Now I&#039;m not knocking Morgans - far from it. I&#039;m making a point - that there is no difference in condition rarities because of a coin&#039;s age.</p><p><br /></p><p>True - you won&#039;t find MS68 Morgans on every street corner. But in the coin world - you&#039;ll find Morgan dollars on every corner. And the same goes for a great many other coins. And if you look hard enough - you&#039;ll even find MS69 Morgan dollars - yes they are out there and yes they have been graded &amp; slabbed as such. But just go try to find an MS69 Washington quarter or Kennedy half. Know what ?? You&#039;ll find more Morgans than either of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s what bugs me when folks talk about condition rarities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
