After all, some people do consider slabs coin tombs.

And if that's the case, then I guess registry sets are digital cemeteries.

Was actually a pretty darn nice coin too.

So far as I'm concerned, for a coin to be graded crap, it must actually be crap.

I just came across this thread and found myself chuckling out loud as I read it. Good stuff!

Now I'm trying to figure out how a coin could be given a negative number grade. That could be a whole new field!

I am sure we are creative enough to figure it out.

JAS- -01 (Just A Sliver negative 01): Describes a coin so worn that it's missing about half (give or take) of it's original weight and seems almost as it's about to bend in half. Much like what happens when a bar of soap wears with use.
