According to this list I count 64 unique lunars. Perhaps Dr. Korotev can provide a better number.
I guess we need to have a definition of "rare", "very rare", "scarce", etc. We are all guilty of using those words and they may mean something different to each of us. In any case, yes I remember when there was one stinking lunar in private hands. I am glad for all of us they are not "rare" anymore and we can have them as large specimens in our collections.
