<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4405878, member: 19165"]Allow me to amend your statement: "These coins are marketed." That, plain and simple, is why they are included in the Red Book. That is why they are included in albums. They are marketed, they are publicized, they sell for premiums - and so, people are taught that they should pay premiums for them, and that they are popular. </p><p><br /></p><p>They are not varieties, despite what any marketing might tell you. </p><p><br /></p><p>They are different, sure. But marketing has always played fast and loose with terminology, especially in a highly technical field, and certainly when a buck could be made. Hey, Mr. TV Personality - use these really fancy words to convince those stupid people to pay lots of money to buy these silly things! I'll give you a dollar every time you sell one! </p><p><br /></p><p>Well yes, Mr. Cable Man, I'll do exactly that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
