    I think that's an excellent point Rob. When rarity is measured by 'how often is this coin available to buy' it's always going to be an imperfect measure, but what is a better one? Perhaps we should add some questions to the 10-yearly census! Worldwide?

    There is also another skewed parameter to muddy the water. Collectors tend to put off the purchase of the more expensive items until later so that excessive amounts of capital aren't tied up. By extension, it means that the expensive coins often return to market a little earlier than one might otherwise expect. This improves availability for the more desirable pieces, giving the impression that they are more common in absolute numbers than a proper census would suggest..

    Peckris, Yes I do see the point, and yes like for like. I think my musing was just suggesting there is no logic to it. Mark

    Thanks to all for the advice. I have decided to sell and not because of the carbon spot! Like I say, it is a nice coin but the price being offered is way above what I think the coin is worth and, even if it takes me a couple of years, I think I will be able to acquire an equally nice replacement for quite a lot less.
