<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 165589, member: 4552"]WOW do I know what you mean. Way, way back there was this thing called a Red Book that I think was the only book on coins. The grades were all simple, terms were all normal, prices were decent. Then somewhere along the line this numismatic complication of terminology started. I can understand the purpose of most of it but I too think it is getting carried away. However, there is this thing nowadays where every trade has to have thier secret language. I too went to the PCGS web site and a few others to find out what people are talking about. Someone told me there was another one called coinfacts.com but I haven't tried that yet. </p><p>Now if your really confused as I am check out the coppercoins.com web site. There they have new terminology for coins such as 1939P-1DO-001. I'm just to old to even try to figure out that one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
