NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 5:30 pm Appreciate your responses. Please help me understand how common "They are common" is. Less than 1% of the total minted, less than 2%, 5%, 10 %? Maybe someone with @silvosi's voluminous expertise can help with this. What does "common" mean? Thanks.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 8:43 pm just think of it as a supply and demand. If all the seasoned collectors has found so many of these they do not want them any more and/or there so many for sale with very little value. Then in my opinion it is common.

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 9:02 pm Thanks for the feedback #oddguy, it is really appreciated. I'm more interested in comparative and true uniqueness. Like artwork, values of coins, is amazingly subjective and clearly not intrinsic. What you and I think is aesthetically pleasing may not be our brothers/sisters cup of tea. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 10:28 pm Unfortunately, there isn't going to be a common definition of "common" for the same reason that there's no common definition of "aesthetically pleasing". However, as oxymoronic as it sounds, there are common rare coins. With almost 300 different DDR's documented for the 2000-2008 Lincoln Cents they appear to qualify as "common" varieties by most numismatic standards. Still cool to find and collect, though.

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 08/18/2022 12:52 pm Well said HGK3. It does sound oxymoronic - a rare common coin. It is the purpose of the question from a noob. Thank you for the response. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff
