Posts: 714 I've always seen a slider as a very high AU coin that is just *almost* MS, but still has enough wear (due to album wear or mishandling, but maybe not true circulation) to qualify as AU. __________________ "Love, hate, kings, queens: / You die alone in a cold world." - Lyrics from the band Cold World   07-01-2008, 07:51 PM   #7 (permalink) Spider ~     Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Chicago Posts: 1,854 thanks guys, I was struggling with this one __________________   07-01-2008, 08:49 PM   #8 (permalink) Tater Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Utah Posts: 1,784 My Mood: for me the coin needs to be choice Au usually AU-58. I believe and I'm sure if I am wrong I'll get corrected, the term slider is in reference to the wear or marks that a coin will get as it is pushed acrossed a counter. Usually a new coin in a register that is used in a transaction and gets slid across the counter. Sounds good to me __________________ Roll Searching Since July 2007 2743 rolls halves 157-40% halves 39-90% halves   07-01-2008, 09:07 PM   #9 (permalink) rzage What Goes Around Comes A     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Chicago Posts: 5,561 My Mood: By Joev I think we got it . rzage __________________ 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread   07-01-2008, 09:19 PM   #10 (permalink) green18 ANA# R3129541     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 7,359 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by rzage by Joev I Think We Got It .

Or even a type set. It has been my experience that finding sliders is more difficult than finding MS specimens for some dates/mm's.   07-02-2008, 04:03 PM   #15 (permalink) spock1k King of Hearts   Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,562 with proper care and attention you can turn ms coins into sliders __________________ There is only one king   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
