<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed S., post: 1902362, member: 70188&quot;]I don&#039;t agree that cleaning or other forms of man-made modifications factor into a coin being called a slider.&nbsp; A slider is simply an AU-58, which for me is a very desirable grade for coins that are very expensive in UNC grades.&nbsp; Some sliders look like MS64s but with a bit less luster.&nbsp; And most AU58s (though not all) look better than MS 60-62, but generally cost significantly less.</p><p><br /></p><p>One story I heard as to the derivation of the term slider was a coin that had very minimal circulation wear, but a seller might try to &quot;slide it in&quot; as an UNC coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
