UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 03:47 am Nice! Enjoy your new additions! Anyway, what is it with Americans calling 'non-American' coins the 'Dark Side'? jbuck also called it such in a different topic. I know it's great to be here, though. We have cookies.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/22/2016 09:10 am Because when it comes to non-US coins, most US collectors are "In the Dark". The term originated on the PCGS forums many years ago. Edited by Conder101 08/22/2016 09:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189053 Posts	Posted 08/22/2016 11:24 am Most Americans know less about foreign coins than they know about the dark side of the moon. (Which there is not, there is just a side we never see from Earth, but I assure you light does fall upon it as often as the side we see.) https://goccf.com/t/61069 http://www.coincommunity.com/dictio.../coins_d.asp Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 08/22/2016 1:30 pm It could make such a great Star Wars or Pink Floyd reference... but no... Anyway, I'm not really surprised, as it seems to fit with how most Americans I know experience the world. Thanks for the info. Report this Post to the Staff
