Unscrupulous dealers&nbsp; (oxymoron) like to purchase at About Uncirculated prices and bump up the grade&nbsp; when selling. By bumping up the grade to full Uncirculated, a heady profit can&nbsp; be reaped. Coins that are close to Uncirculated grade are sometimes referred&nbsp; to as Super Sliders, or Choice About Uncirculated. I have also heard the&nbsp; following rubbery terms used: Looks Unc., Nearly New, New Enough, Nearly&nbsp; There, Almost There, Virtually Uncirculated, and Nice.
