    What annoys you? For me it is quarter dollar and so-called dollar.

    MS++++++ can be really annoying, especially when raw coins which show wear or cleaning are described like that

    Pennies! I know, who cares, but it annoys me when people refer to US cents as pennies.

    "Graded" coins, referring to certified coins.

    Seriously? Every coin is graded every time it's bought and sold.

    When someone describes a raw coin MS-63 details or AU-50 details. Actually the whole details term all together. When grading companies put Fine Details Cleaned. Its made me just hate the word details. Why not just put Fine Cleaned?

    Questionable Color. What's up with that one. To me it would mean "I don't know". Why would you advertise that you don't know what you are supposed to be an expert in.

    I think the term "blast white" in most places could be replaced by the term overdipped.

    "Full red blazer" and "junk silver." I do not know which one is worse, but both cause me to look away. Horrific terminology.

    Negative ghost writer. "Blast white" refers to a completely untoned coin without a spec of color whatsoever
