" Semi-key date "
Really ? What's that, according to some, it's any coin with under 5 mil mintage.

Just the thought of describing something as "PQ" makes me shudder.

"Artificially toned"
It's either unintentionally toned or intentionally toned. No such thing as artificially toned.

 verdigris = coin rust, just call it rust! pedigree = it's a coin, minted by the govt, to be distributed to the public. Who cares who touched it! Reeds = because if you have to count them for checking on a Morgan VAM, on 30 coins, you hate that term too. Troy weight = why does it only have 12 troy ounces in a troy pound? Why does it have to be different from the norm? Time now to go to my happy place! |

It's been mentioned by 2 other posters above but I gotta repeat/agree -- "RARE!"
Every time I see that word in a heading I get the sneaking feeling that the dealer is trying to convince me of something that he doesn't have a clue about himself. It's like a big neon sign saying "Beware!"-- I see that term in a description and I run.
I realize that there are some dealers out there who use the "r-word" appropriately and my heart goes out to them because unfortunately they seem to be in the minority.

I hate "Large Cent" when referring to an Aussie or English Penny.

People that use "currency" as a synonym for "paper money" or "banknotes". "Currency" is a synonym for "money", and can include paper money, coins, cowrie shells, salt sticks, slabs of instant tea, or anything else that a particular society uses for money. People that refer to die chips as " Cuds". Feel free to call it a " Cud", if you like, but it's not a Cud. The letters in " Cud" are not an acronym or abbreviation for anything, so don't write it in all-caps. This is particularly aimed at the guy who writes most of the error coin articles in the Australasian Coin & Banknote Magazine; he writes about Cuds. A lot.  Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Unsearched is the one that gets me. Outright lie most of the time.

Rotated dies...I suspect 99% of the time one die is fixed properly and the other is rotated. Should be rotated die!
