<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1902305, member: 31533&quot;]A slider, as Lehigh has shown, is basically a coin that is or should be graded a high About Uncirculated, having the slightest friction wear. But so slight that for many people who don&#039;t know the grading well will see it as a BU coin (Brilliant Uncirculated, meaning about a MS60-MS63 in general) and will pay BU price for it if it is presented as a BU. Some dealers do that, and their BU coins are many times sliders. You have to be really knowledgeable about the differences to spot some. </p><p>The important thing is to recognise when something has been represented as fully uncirculated (MS numbers) as opposed to an AU coin being passed as an UNC. Don&#039;t pay BU money for AU coins. But do pay AU prices for BU coins if you can get them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the term &#039;slider&#039; is being defined differently now, so also you have to find out what the person means by slider. It looks like the dealer you bought from at least was honest and told you they were &#039;about uncirculated&#039; instead of representing them as BU and being barely there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
