doctorman1941 Pillar of the Community Canada 504 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 12:43 pm How rare is the 1929 cent when a seller on ebay has 10 for sale. Item no 110955580393. Report this Post to the Staff

timnic44 Pillar of the Community Canada 535 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 12:52 pm just type in the word RARE on ebay and see how many hits you get. Didn't you know that almost all coins are rare. Report this Post to the Staff
doctorman1941 Pillar of the Community Canada 504 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 12:56 pm Yes I check ebay a lot and I will not send anymore messages to sellers wondering if I missed something in the description.They use rare more than I drink coffee and that is a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 1:01 pm At least in this case the high-9 is the scarcer of the two varieties, relatively speaking. Not saying "rare" is fitting as an adjective here, but it's better than seeing "rare" describing auctions for either composition of 2011 penny, both of which were minted in excess of 300 million coins. There's a whole scale of how inappropriate use of the word "rare" can be! Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 1:19 pm I guess the dealer thinking is that if they don't use the word "RARE", fewer people will look at the auction, thus reducing the end price. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 1:36 pm "Rare" is one of the words I filter out in my ebay searches, so I don't have to sort through piles of not-so-rare coins....

littlemoney Pillar of the Community Canada 902 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 1:37 pm The correct term for this coin would be scarce. Not the same thing as rare. Two commonly misused words on ebay are key date & rare. Edited by littlemoney 10/04/2012 1:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
North of 49 Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 8:14 pm "rare" is a term overused on ebay almost as much as the word "vintage" Report this Post to the Staff
santafeboy Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 10:51 pm The high nine 1929 is a relatively recent discovery. Worth around $20 in low grade according to coinsandcanada ( though the actual number in existance is uncertain) I found 1 along with a key date 1922 and 4 common King George V cents in a bag of 6 that I paid a total of 50 cents for a few weeks ago at a coin show. The low 9 1929 in average condition is about a 1 Dollar coin Report this Post to the Staff
