Maybe you know that, for a rare coin, the grade is a secondary factor when a collector wish to obtain a coin Wrong. Grade, condition rarity and eye appeal is everything... especially to me. That is why it took me 8 years to find the perfect 1953 SF cent for my collection. https://goccf.com/t/122427PS - I repeat, that coin is not "rare". 1:100 population does not make it a rare coin. The 1859 brass cent, is a rare coin, the 1954 NSF 5-cent, is a rare coin, the 1906 small crown 25c, is a rare coin... etc...

SPP-Ottawa,
" Wrong " ! I respect your opinion, but please, respect mine : moreover, it is the same that those of several specialists in the numismatic world !
I respect your search of perfect coins.
But, you can see that others collectors, like me, prefer the search of rares and non listed coins : the challenge is hight and the result give us a great satisfaction !
PS : after all, what is the population of surviving coins for the 5 cents 1932 ?

3. you compare this coin to the 1926 Far 6. Have you ever tried to buy a roll of 1926 5-cent coins? Overall, the mintage is lower for 1926, and you will not find a 1926 roll anywhere for less than $125, and chances are, it does not have a Far 6. I can still buy a 1932 roll for $12, and chances are, I have a better than 30% chance of finding a Far 2.
I would think NOBODY sells a roll of unsearched 1926. NO ... BODY Right now they probably don't search the 1932. That will end PDQ if the variety gets a following, and the roll hunting will then die as source. The question is, do you ask the seller if they have been searched? Doing so will may immediately have the rolls withdrawn from offer pending a search. |

Always remember: Absence of proof is not proof of absence. That is, us not knowing the true population does not prove it is scarce. What percentage of total existing 1932 population do you think you've accounted for? As stated above, a roll of circulated 1932 goes for $30 - $50 ($0.75 to $1.20 a coin). ebay has 40 or so listings. That makes them extremely common. Quote:
So we have now : 23/2543 = 0.90 % for the variety " Far 2 " .
If we assume you've accounted for 1% of the total 1932 population, then there are about 250,000 out there, and your own statistics would indicate the "Far 2" population is about 2500. |

@ SPP-Ottawa,
You say : " I can still buy a 1932 roll for $12..... ".
And..... I say you : I hope to see the result of your search !

You won't. I don't collect 5-cent coins, and I don't have time to search circulated rolls. I tend to buy in bulk (10 to 20 rolls at a time) and I buy those rolls for friends and customers who like to search for Zoell varieties, near-far rim, Far 2, etc... I roll search Canadian small cents and nickel dollar hoards - because that is what I collect.

@ SPP-Ottawa,
If you find 10 circulated rolls of 5 cents 1932, I am your man to buy them : I like the search !
@ wade,
I am not the owner of this coin. I have only, in my collection, one 5 cents 1932 Far 2, CCCS F-12.

@ nickelsguy, 1- Please, to confirm our data, send us photos of your four coins ( 5 cents 1932 Far 2 ) : it is important to add to our statistics. From more than 3 years of search, I consider that you are an exceptional, maybe unique lucky man in the search of this variety  2- What is your price for this prolific roll  |

@ errorone2012, Sorry, your 5 cents 1932 is a " Near 2 from leaf "  See the photo of jg86, on page 6, to see a nice photo of "Far 2". @ nickelsguy, We wait your photos to confirm your four 5 cents 1932 "far" 2's  |

@ nickelsguy,
Your result is exceptional by comparison with the results of more than 125 dealers and collectors, from more than three years ago.
Are you sure that you not confuse with " Far Rim " and " Near Rim " ?
When you will present the photos of your four coins " 5 cents 1932 Far 2 ", I will tell you what I think for these coins , no problem.
