<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1398318, member: 26302&quot;]You brought up two good comparisons Randy. You brought up a variety rarity versus a person variety. Huge difference. Basically the order of importance of &quot;rarity&quot; I would say would be CIVILIZATION-RULER-TYPE-VARIETY. If, (and its a huge if), demand was constant, the only coin known for a civilization would be more valuable than ruler, and so on. This illustrates why a scarce ruler is probably more valuable than a rare variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am glad you posted the link Doug. Always good reading, and I remember reading that page back when it was &quot;new&quot;. It really helped me understand ancient coin rarity as a newbie. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Way too many dealers take advantage of US collectors and their penchant for tiny little differences mattering, and the general agreement that rarity of anything in US collecting means high value. Most of us with larger collections I am sure own rare varieties that we don&#039;t even know about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
