What is your definition of a widget?

Trinketts

As it relates to coins of course.

MORGANHUNTER2

A ratty quarter that I used to pitch on sidewalks in Chicago- others used pennies- the big boys used quarters.

Russ

Any coin that is easily replaced.

Any coin that is easily obtainable. 1881-S Morgans in 65, Modern commems, Common date 62 Saints, etc. Generally available in quantity as well. Anything you could locate and purchase in one day by making some phone calls.

tradedollarnut

Something you can find multiple examples of in multiple grades at every major coin show.

BAJJERFAN

A common date/mm coin that you can always find somewhere. The 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884 and 1885-CC Morgans in ms66 come to mind. I have wots of wijjets in my set.

Gemineye

A Slabbed AT coin......................................

stev32k

I thought a widget was any coin not sold by Legend.

mirabela

Something completely interchangeable with others of its kind -- same in coins as it is in manufacturing.

keets

most of the coins that Legend sells, though some of theirs are pretty widgets.

tradedollarnut

Yawn.

<< <i>I thought a widget was any coin not sold by Legend. >>



Or in smoe cases ... Kennedy Halves sold by Legend for which Russ could have made a killing on but Laura didn't ...

Trinketts - What is your defintion of a midget? As it relates to coins of course.

keets

Something you can find multiple examples of in multiple grades at every major coin show.



not my definition, but yours. as i said, Legends are just prettier............and more expensive.

BTW, you're getting easier to snag, Bruce.

tradedollarnut

Whatever floats your boat...

RYK

Any coin that is easily replaced.

Someone should put that in their sigline so that the question need not ever be asked again!

FYI, some people are very offended by the use of the term in this forum, so I advise not bringing it up again!

ibzman350

Every coin in my collection/hoard.





<< <i>I thought a widget was any coin not sold by Legend. >>





Wrong......................I've bought 2 widget's from Legend and if I may add I was very pleased with my purchase, both price wise and the quality of the coins.

I presume you mean me?

Offended isn't quite the right word for it, but now I know how the Alliance Française feels

RYK

<<I presume you mean me?>>

Sorry, I was not thinking of you. I did not think you considered the term offensive. Moronic maybe, not offensive.

Barry

Yes, moronic is a good choice.

orie

widgets

RYK

Here's a new definition I just created:

Widget: Something that I can find AND afford more than one.

What do you think?

Figured I should be all inclusvie. There seem to be a multitude of spelling versions of the word all over this place.

ColonialCoinUnion

Widg-et n. An unremarkable coin. One that is readily replaceable in identical condition at most any show, anytime, anywhere. It can be relatively expensive or it can be dirt cheap. It is never rare.

RegistryCoin

Adopted biz school term to describe bread and butter inventory (for some).

CalGold

What's the big deal. Most coins in any series are widgets. A lot of the inventory in a dealer's case is composed of widgets. A lot of auction material is widgets. Widgets can be expensive. A high relief Saint could meet TDN's definiton. So does an MS or PR 1877 IHC or MS red 1909s vdb cent except perhaps in top pop red condition or maybe a wild toned 1877 proof.

Most Morgan dollars, even the exhaulted keys like the 93-s below MS, are widgets with the exception of a few top pops, branch mint proofs, and some rare DMPLs and maybe VAMS, except that VAMS are widgets for most folks who regard the VAMsters as weirdos armed with 30x stero microscopes.
