<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3899985, member: 112&quot;]I understand what you&#039;re saying Jeff, but the quote directly above is the answer in a nutshell.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your comment about the definition of popular, well, that&#039;s usually the reason for disagreement in a nutshell. You can pick almost any word you want, use it to express yourself, and somebody else will say but that means such and such, and the person who used the word will say, no that&#039;s not what I meant at all. So why does this happen ? Simple, because just about everybody has all kinds of different kinds of personal definitions for just about all words. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what is the definition of popular ? </p><p><br /></p><p><i>pop·u·lar</i></p><p><i>/ˈpäpyələr/</i></p><p><i>adjective</i></p><p><i>1.</i></p><p><i>liked, admired, or enjoyed by many people or by a particular person or group.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>And this - </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Definition of popular</i></p><p><i>1: of or relating to the general public</i></p><p><i>2: suitable to the majority: such as</i></p><p><i>a: adapted to or indicative of the understanding and taste of the majority</i></p><p><i>a popular history of the war</i></p><p><i>b: suited to the means of the majority : INEXPENSIVE</i></p><p><i>sold at popular prices</i></p><p><i>3: frequently encountered or widely accepted</i></p><p><i>a popular theory</i></p><p><i>4: commonly liked or approved</i></p><p><i>a very popular girl</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Synonyms for popular</p><p><br /></p><p><i>big, crowd-pleasing, du jour, faddish, faddy, fashionable, favorite, happening, hot, in, large, modish, pop, popularized, red-hot, vogue, voguish</i></p><p><br /></p><p>And then there&#039;s this - </p><p><br /></p><p><i>In sociology, popularity is how much a person, idea, place, item or other concept is either liked or accorded status by other people. Liking can be due to reciprocal liking, interpersonal attraction, and similar factors. Social status can be due to dominance, superiority, and similar factors.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>And when you&#039;re talking about coins, the above kind of explains it. But if you want to put it another way, you can use the same comparison you did - the &#039;16-D and the &#039;16-P to determine which is more popular.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ask a group of collectors: if you have a choice between the &#039;16-D and the &#039;16-P, both equal in condition, which one would you choose ? </p><p><br /></p><p>How many do you think are gonna choose the P ? </p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to coins, that&#039;s the definition of popularity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
