It&#039;s a bonus if I catch a coin that is both, but rarity is not decisive on itself. And to be honest, rare <i>and </i>cool coins generally tend to be out of my price range <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an example of a coin where rarity and desirabilty go hand in hand:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1205076[/ATTACH]Why is it rare?
