<p>[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 692939, member: 17502"]This hobby as with all others, and virtually any other line of business has its own language. The abbreviations noted in the OP are all useful and used by most of us almost every day. But if we decide that CoinTalk will set the definations for numismatic abbreviations we should probably expect some dissent. For examble, RS Yeoman's famous Red Book, or should we call it A Guide Book of United States Coins (insert your favorite year here), freely uses D/S and D/D abbreviations to represent overmintmark's, see page 8 in your 2010 edition. I'm open to ideas as to how we would enforce our definations on the industry. Just being pratical, which isn't easy to do with your tongue in your cheek. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
