Outside coin collecting circles, the term "cull" means to reject unacceptable specimens as in "culling a herd" of animals. So a cull is a seriously troubled problem coin - aka a filler. It has little or no eye appeal; all it does is fill a hole.   10-14-2009, 03:57 PM   #12 (permalink) rlm's cents Numismatist     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 6,802 My Mood: Has anyone bothered to look at the date for Eric's one and only post? __________________ The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.
