something is unique or not. How can it be "very unique"?

You see, unique inflation causes that to be extremely unique

Weigh it to make sure it's not counterfeit.

well it's not mine i just noticed it scanning ebay but as to the idea of weighing the piece: wouldnt the weight measurement be compromised by the missing portion?

A humdinger

<< A humdinger >>

More like numismatic brass knuckles.

So if I drill holes in all my coins and call them unique, could I sell them for more than they're worth now?

You rang?

Just so happens that 1795 is one of the few dates I lack in holey large cents.

That one's, um... just a bit TOO holey for even me, though!

How do you catch a eunuch?

unique up on him.

TwoSides2aCoin · April 30, 2009 11:27PM

It is not a coin. It's a colander.

TwoSides2aCoin · April 30, 2009 11:29PM

Excuse me seller of said piece from my smart alec first post.

I should be more specific. It's an antique colander, post-colonial, for small noodles.

The horror!

Walmann · May 1, 2009 3:43AM

I'd be a litte concerned what this coin may have been used for after its alteration.

<< something is unique or not. How can it be "very unique"? >>

I've always laughed when people make this argument. While the main definition of unique is "singular" or "one," it's not the only definition. From Merriam-Webster: "Many commentators have objected to the comparison or modification (as by somewhat or very) of unique, often asserting that a thing is either unique or it is not. Objections are based chiefly on the assumption that unique has but a single absolute sense, an assumption contradicted by information readily available in a dictionary."

you can only drill hole(s) in one to do so, or they are no longer very unique.
