<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2572717, member: 76739&quot;]Really GD.&nbsp; in Numismatic as you been preaching quite eloquently and you are right with this statement that you make about no difference. Let me just say really. I know I can get a lot more money for an uncirculated piece than I would get From a circulated piece depending on the coin. So I guess there is kind of a difference. GD you also have to remember one thing.NUMISMATIC collectors is a very small percentage of the population. And this is what I believe the author of the article was trying to state. Ordinary people look at a coin this way circulated means it&#039;s been in circulation. Uncirculated means it has not been in the public&#039;s hands.And as you have stated up in your statement most people do not get this because they are not coin collectors or have not invested much time and research. They take the words literally. And GD you don&#039;t know how many times I tried to explain this to someone that&#039;s just a weekend collector and maybe pulls coins out of his change that looks strange and decides to keep it. This is a majority the people you deal with in public at least I do. And I can&#039;t see why all of you think that I do not understand Numismatic terminology. Like I&#039;ve said since I joined coin talk. it&#039;s definitely needed that a lot of changes need to be in terminology. As we grow as a society so should Numismatic. And I will concede since I started collecting there has been a few changes. But in my observation it looks like molasses goes uphill a lot faster than change in Numismatic.I can only hope in my lifetime I can see these changes come about but unfortunately I believe that changes will not come until a lot of the hard heads are no longer with us. And the new generation of collectors can take over. And simplify things to work so everyone can understand without having to go to their smart phones and pulling up NUMISMATIC terminology.Which even today a lot of people don&#039;t even waste their time doing that. And unfortunately the change that is around the corner is going to eliminate physical money itself. The new generation is moving into a new digital and plastic society. Who knows what the future holds.usmc60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
