<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 26106776, member: 105571&quot;]I much prefer to retain a traditional view of the word &quot;rare&quot; or &quot;rarity.&nbsp; Such a designation, IMO, should be reserved for that which is quite difficult to obtain, no matter how much money can be thrown at the attempt.&nbsp; For coins, this might be something like it takes more than two months to find an example, an admittedly arbitrary length of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>But in my view, any coin I can find in less than a week is not rare by any stretch of a traditional definition of the word.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those coins that are hard to obtain solely because they are expensive, I would prefer a term like &quot;economically difficult to obtain (EDTO)&quot;.&nbsp; Or maybe just EAS (Expensive as s***).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
