Dena: I need more information than you are providing. What are you classifying as a rarity? The coin it's self or the error? If so what is the cut off point. Here is a copy of the Universal Rarity Scale by Q. David Bowers

 

URS-0 none known

URS-1 1 known, unique

URS-2 2 known

URS-3 3 or 4 known

URS-4 5 to 8 known

URS-5 9 to 16 known

URS-6 17 to 32 known

URS-7 33 to 64 known

URS-8 65 to 125 known

URS-9 126 to 250 known

URS-10 251 to 500 known

URS-11 501 to 1,000 known

URS-12 1,001 to 2,000 known

URS-13 2,001 to 4,000 known

URS-14 4,001 to 8,000 known

URS-15 8,001 to 16,000 known

URS-16 16,001 to 32,000 known

URS-17 32,001 to 65,000 known

URS-18 65,001 to 125,000 known

URS-19 125,001 to 250,000 known

URS-20 250,001 to 500,000 known

Etc.

 

I am going to use URS-8 as a guide to use as what I consider a rarity would be because anything around 100 know pieces I would consider a rarity. If I use URS-8 as a scale there are many doubled-die obverse that would fall under that category. But not knowing what your definition of a rarity is we will have a different definition. So this week I have to take a pass on the trivia. CHRIS
