<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DoubleDie, post: 437934, member: 10132&quot;]I never expected this post to go this far, but that&#039;s what we are here for. Anyway, the English language is a very colorful language, in that, bass can have different meanings, and prison guards, brick masons, etc. use the same word but as a different meaning, as do different sections of the US.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some coin collectors like to call themselves Numismatist because it sounds more professional, and they don&#039;t think of themselves as just a coin collector. We can discuss what should be and what shouldn&#039;t be and all the nuances of our language, but we really can&#039;t get anywhere with that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I will say this; It&#039;s hard wired into most people&#039;s mind that a flat round shape is a coin. At least, on first thought, but an experienced collector would realize the difference between a flat, round metal tab or token and actual coinage. But the fact remains, that we think coin first.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While we are on the same subject. A blank planchet is a coin and we can tell what denomination by the size, metal content and weight, but try to spend it. Also, a basal state coin also has no features to discern its actual type, but at one time was coinage. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Alright, I added another of my two cents. lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
