There is little in numismatics that is simply cut and dried, it usually more of a matter of degree. If it&#039;s this degree, then it is one thing. If it&#039;s to another degree, then it is something else. And if it&#039;s to yet another degree, then it is something else yet again. And sometimes it even matters as to what particular coin you are talking about. For the same thing can be thing #1 with this coin and thing #2 with that coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know it sounds confusing, but there are a lot of subtle nuances in numismatics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
