<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2690800, member: 15062"]Numbers representing rarity are a personal opinion. In my own opinion, anything with a mintage below 500,000 can be considered rare, especially compared with recent and even older average mintage figures. Survivors are certainly far less than those minted and with these numbers not everyone could own one.
