za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 02/28/2011 08:21 am Hi dialog_gvf, I have not answered to your question : " What's the rush " - I don't know if you collect 5 cents and varieties, but it is your interest, not mine. - The rush, as you say, was to obtain some data, from collectors and also from sellers, on 5 cents 1932, to present strong statistic. I hit the target with 1582 data : only 19 of these coins are of the variety Far 2, for only 1.2 % I think that this is a good news for collectors of varieties, because this variety is not yet well known And now, I can conclude that this variety is RARE Report this Post to the Staff
dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 7:02 pm Well, "what's the rush?" was a joke reference to the frustrations being expressed that it isn't immediately being recognized as a new variety, considering how long it has been out there undiscovered. You've done an amazing amount of work on this, and are to be congratulated. A definite service to the collecting community! As for calling it rare, I think that term tends to be way overused. Unless those 1592 represent a significant percentage of all the 1932 nickels remaining out there, I would think the proper term is scarce. Report this Post to the Staff
za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 7:35 pm Hi dialog_gvf, 1592 is the total data that I have obtain in this search for varieties of 5 cents 1932. 19 is the total data for the variety Far 2. 19/1582 = 1.20 % You have the choice for the proper appellation. But, for me, if the 5 cents 1926 Far 6 is a rare coin, this one is also a rare coin. Report this Post to the Staff
za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 03/04/2011 04:28 am dialog_gvf, I agree with you, " the term rare tends to be overused " : if the 5 cents 1926 Far 6 is scarce, the 1932 Far 2 is scarce too. Report this Post to the Staff
dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 03/05/2011 3:09 pm Yes, I think the 1926 Far 6 is properly referred to as scarce. I doubt there are definitive rules for calling something rare, because it probably depends on the ratio of the supply to the collecting community (the demand). But, if the 1921 5c is considered rare at ~400 known items, I would think that would be near the upper limit of rare. It might better be considered "extremely scarce". Several have come up for auction on ebay the past few weeks. That doesn't seem too rare. It would be nice if Charlton consider introducing a rarity level to their listings. In their Canadian tokens reference, they report the various rarity levels others (Breton, Lees, etc.) have defined over the years. Report this Post to the Staff
za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 03/05/2011 5:27 pm Hi dialog_gvf, I agree with you: in the next " Montreal Nuphilex Show ", spring 2011, I see 13 coins of 5 cents 1926 Far 6, in the auction's catalog. I like the following shema of Stephen Album ( USA ) for the avaibility of coins : " Scarce = Usually available without long delay, hardly ever in quantity. Rare = Demand outstrips supply, and specimens, when available, are often eagerly sought. Very rare = Seldom available. Collectors may have to wait years to locate one. " Report this Post to the Staff
