<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 3311719, member: 5629&quot;]Exactly the problem. (Not referring to anything you have said wrong, but referring to the OPs and others use of the term).</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Bookend&quot; has been part of the numismatic nomenclature for quite a long time.&nbsp; On the side of coinage, CAM has it&#039;s history of use.&nbsp; But, nowadays, there are those that would use CAM to identify a particular variety of Lincoln Memorial Cent instead of its long time use referring to a &quot;cameo&quot;..</p><p><br /></p><p>Likewise, we see individuals using &quot;bookend&quot; for a particular serial number subset that it does not historically refer to.&nbsp; And, this will only bring confusion and/or misunderstandings when discussing the two.&nbsp; Unfortunately, those that sensationalize their &quot;get-rich&quot; schemes on their various platforms will only perpetuate this problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is not to say that someone cannot collect these other curiosities.&nbsp; The post by new member Jim Dale (Welcome to the forum!) is spot on.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter if they are worth anything or will be worth anything.&nbsp; &quot;Special&quot; is in the eye of the holder. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie39" alt=":cyclops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> You collect what you like because it&#039;s fun!</p><p><br /></p><p>And that is not to say that a curiosity cannot hold any form of premium just because I or anybody else don&#039;t collect it.&nbsp; Every small niche will have its followers and they are the ones that will determine the value thereof.&nbsp; Books, corporations, price lists, bloggers, and tube vloggers do not determine the value of any particular note...only the buyer and seller do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even so, when a term is misused, correction should follow.&nbsp; How is anybody to learn if they are not taught?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
