<p>[QUOTE="ziggy9, post: 1107015, member: 8360"]Rascal </p><p>Just because many in the hobby want to Ba$tardiize the language used to describe coins doesn't make it right. In any field of science if you tried to give new definiotions to old terms you would be severely chastised by the science community. That is because if not all are using the same dictionary it becomes more difficult to understand what everyone is talking about. The same applies to numismatics. If I read a thread that says "hey, look at this awesome cud!" I am automatically going to look for something involving the rim. There are already terms that describe what is on the coin. They are die chips and the large one is a die break. If your intent in posting that link was to "educate" me all, you have shown me is that the precise language used to describe coins and coin errors is being diluted. Perhaps it is you that has something to learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
