<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2132559, member: 71234&quot;]How clear is this compared with &#039;Gold Plated&#039; which is something everyone would understand?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To say it in that manner is to say it in a manner designed to confuse. Or to oversell it. How thick is 10 MIL? Is that 10 millimeters, ten thousandths of an inch.10 millionths of an inch or centimetre? There is so little gold the carat is irrelevant. </p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;Clad&#039; is a weasel word as well. It has implications of thickness and solidity, as in &#039;Ironclad&#039; or &#039;clad in weatherproof clothing&#039; , or even cladding on a building. </p><p><br /></p><p>It may well be that all these terms are in common commercial use to describe this type of pointless tat, but they are the stock in trade of the deceiver, the standard parlance of hucksters who hope to fool the none too bright into thinking that their&nbsp; essentially worthless junk is somehow a worthwhile purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to defend selling this stuff on a board essentially devoted to real numismatics is futile. A garbage disposal man is worthy if infinitely more respect than a garbage dispensing man, since the latter is due no respect at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
