Bill, and others

I had the opportunity to look up the difference between 'rare' and 'scarce' the other day. I noted your use of 'rare' in your statement " I do know you rarely see one.". This is, of course, the proper use of 'rare', according to what I found.

'Rare' refers to 'seldom seen'. 'Scarce' refers to 'demand outstriping supply'. 'Value' is not mentioned in either definition, although I know from personal experience that there is a relationship!
