<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26106767, member: 104064&quot;]Number of collectors divided by number of surviving coins = &quot;market rarity&quot; I guess. The higher the number, the more &quot;market rare.&quot; My favorite comparison is that 1893-S Morgan $1 versus the Canadian 1948 dollar. Both are famous as the rarest dollar coins in their respective countries. 1893-S mintage - 100,000 with roughly 10,000 survivors. 1948 CAD$ mintage - 18,780 and probably a similar (or smaller) number of survivors. Price guide in MS63 - $450,000 for the 1893-S, $2,760 for the 1948. So it costs 163 times more for one coin than the other, with close to the same absolute rarity. Both &quot;money coins&quot; - easily found if you have the money. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the obligatory image.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1664718[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
