A work of art like Michelangelo's David or a Japanese katana sword are priceless because of the time spent on them and perfection of the craftsmanship. They are handmade and perfect in execution. But for a mass produced item like a coin or a postal stamp (items that we expect to be identical) a slight imperfection resulted from the manufacturing process can increase the value of the said item .

I think the bathtub model applies here. This model is a graph in the shape of a bathtub that shows how long a product keeps working.

Some products are manufactured faulty, so break within the first shiort period. Then there is a period with no breakages, followed by a period where the product will break from "old age"

Sorry for bad English
