<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 3741660, member: 71642&quot;]Maybe 15 or 20 years ago (dang I&#039;m old) the phrase &#039;darkside&#039; started being used over on the PCGS forums to refer to the world coins.&nbsp; Well, maybe world and ancients, but pretty sure world coins.&nbsp; As that is a US coin centric message board (even more so back then) a few people even started calling Canadian coinage &#039;grayside&#039;.&nbsp; I joked around that exonumia/medals were thus &#039;the farside&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said &#039;darkside&#039; was (and sometimes still is) used pretty frequently over there. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] may remember more details of the word use.&nbsp; I joined over there in 2003 and the term was established.&nbsp; So, that 15-20 year range is probably closer to 20.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
