Please list all the numismatic acronyms you use. I will be interesting to see how many we come up with. I see a lot of confusion with the new members to the site not knowing what the acronyms we use mean. Thanks, Reed.
I created this list to help out: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/cointalks-numismatic-acronym-glossary.257793/

You mean like those already pinned that absolutely nobody ever reads ? It's as if the one way to make sure nobody every reads it - is to pin it and make it a sticky thread !
I referred to that list a lot when I joined. Being an old guy that has collected coins for many years, I felt like a kid reading some of these posts when I joined up.
Actually, I was hoping that newcomers to collecting and these forums might read it, but I know that is just wishful thinking. Chris
Hey if I can add another sticky thread to my collection, no one might read it, but I sure would feel proud, LOL.
It's pretty easy for YOU to simply add it to this one - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-brief-history-of-time-cointalk-edition.249091/ - which is already a sticky thread
