Everytime this same topic is present, numismatic student is persistent, posting countless replies so everyone can hear his opinion. If you are interested in diving deep into this topic, please read the many pages of responses to previous topics.
Although the thread has strayed from the original topic question, I think the lesson learned is that there will always be disagreements and arguing whether what coin falls under what category.

Don't let anybody tell you what coins to have in your collection.
