justin3651 Pillar of the Community United States 621 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 03:11 am I think they mean a coin in the Lincoln series that is considered rare can be in the thousands known. like the keys for example. While for other series like patterns dozens being known makes it considered "common" within the series. that's what I read it as at least. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16941 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 10:19 am Correct. The example posted by the OP does not need correcting, it is intended to show the "relativity" of the word "rare". People talk about the 1909-S-VDB Lincoln being "rare" when there are thousands of them out there, yet pretty much every pattern coin, even the "common" ones, has fewer than 100 known. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
