The number of potential variances is enormous, the causes equally broad, and the reasons so similar that you kind of need to learn about things on a case-by-case basis. Even more problematic, it seems that many folks choose to stop learning at a certain level and then misapply their limited knowledge to incompletely diagnose what they're looking at.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love Cuds On Coins. They're doing amazingly detailed listings of valid numismatic features, without the slightest effort to integrate their knowledge with any existing variety system. Yet another numbering system, and who knows if that coin deserves a number from someone else's system? They don't. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Arrogance and shortsightedness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
