[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3205361, member: 112"]That was kind of the whole point of my comments Books, which is essentially the same comment I've been making in quite a few posts in recent times - the definition thing. When it comes to meaning and understanding everything hinges on the definitions used, not only by those making the comments, but by those reading them as well. This whole thread started out over use of the word fresh being used to describe a single coin. Along the way other terms and words were thrown in, some by me and some by others. In the article referenced fresh was the word used, and questioned by this thread. But that coin could also have been described as - newly discovered, remarkable, newsworthy, noteworthy, special - and the list of engrandizing adjectives goes on. They pretty much all imply the same thing and at various times they are pretty much all used in the same way. And, in my opinion, that's all this was, the word fresh was used to engrandize the coin. And arguing about or disputing the terms I have used - that's nothing more than the definition thing again. My initial comments were not to dispute anything ! They were merely to point out that there ARE several different ways in which the word used - fresh - can be interpreted or understood to mean. Just like there are several different ways the words I have used can be interpreted or understood to mean. And thus providing more fodder for those who wish to dispute my comments.[/QUOTE]
