Calling the grade at 8 points on the Sheldon scale "Very Good".
I mean, seriously, you have to get some really cool design (or a collector that appreciates circulation) to make a VG-8 coin in any way "very good"!

(As for "fish-scales": Russian numismatics uses the term for our own silver wire copecks, which probably deserve it much more because they're at least elongated in shape, like the real fish scales are... and for that matter they're much smaller as well!)

Whenever the E-bay seller "asyn" uses the term MS-65 for coins that are NOT!

"commercial uncirculated or premium quality brilliant uncirculated" = AU, over graded.
