Historical question: Years age, when all a collector had to rely upon were word descriptions, the terms 'porous' and 'granular' were included in a coin's description. 1) Are they synonymous? 2) Are they still valid or have the meanings changed?
Back then no mention that I can recall referred to a coin as having been 'dug.' Perhaps 'pre-electronic-devices.'
