No, they are not rare but they are collected. Depending upon subject matter, the values vary but none are cheap any more.

Louis Daguerre introduced daguerreotypes in 1839.
Glass plates were superior to daguerreotypes and calotypes primarily due to their ability to produce sharper, more detailed images with greater tonal range. Unlike daguerreotypes, which were one-of-a-kind images on polished metal, glass plates allowed for multiple prints from a single exposure. Additionally, the wet plate collodion process used with glass plates enabled faster exposure times and improved sensitivity to light, making them more practical for photographers. This combination of quality and convenience ultimately contributed to their widespread adoption in the late 19th century.
A daguerreotype is a photograph made by an early photographic process. The photo was produced on a silver plate sensitized to iodine and developed in mercury vapor.
You may be referring to daguerreotypes, invented by Louis Daguerre around 1826, which became popular around the 1830s to the 1860s.
A daguerreotype is an early form of photography that uses a silver-coated copper plate to create a unique image. It produces a sharp and detailed image with a mirror-like surface. On the other hand, a tintype is a later form of photography that uses a thin sheet of iron coated with a dark lacquer to create a positive image. Tintypes are more durable and easier to produce than daguerreotypes, but they have a lower image quality and lack the reflective surface of daguerreotypes.
there are 2 different types of 'rare'. There is Super Rare and rare. Doris = Rare :)
I believe it was Louis Daguerre who is largely credited as the inventor of the process and apparatus to take "Daguerreotypes". This apparatus was the precursor to, and may be considered one of the first, cameras. At least that's what I was taught in high school.
a rare opportunity
its SUPER RARE!!!!!!
He is definetly rare. As rare as he can be.
She is ultra rare
