publius Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:19 pm Yeah, US "rarities" are often dead common in terms of numbers available in the market, compared to many world issues which sell for much lower. I've got one of the Iceland Althing millennium sets, in the original case, of which not too many were made. It cost a few hundred US dollars. And a Kiribati 10c coin with a total mintage of 20 000, in specimen condition? Cost me 25¢ US. "Rare" (not many extant) is one thing. "Scarce" is the product of "rare" and "desired".

All coins for which there are say 5 extant examples are equally rare. All coins for which there are 10 are equally rare and are less rare than coins for which there are 5. Any day of the year, many 1909-S VDB cents are for sale. A rare coin (for me) is one which comes on the market less frequently than once per year. d is indeed a very big deal in determining market value.
