If I see "unsearched hoard" one more time, I'll have half a mind to never buy from that dealer / auction house/ company ever again.

Rare has to be the most over used descriptor.

"Estate sale" I have noticed a lot of ebay listings with "estate find" or something similar in the title lately. I assume they are trying to attract buyers, but it does the opposite for me. I usually don't even look at the listing if I see "estate" in the title.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Are there other kinds of white? my 2 cents (from a former paint/ colour consultant) fyi, white is considered a neutral and can exhibit every colour while still being classified white. to me, "blast" implies being "very" of something i.e mint blast, fruit blast. I don't mind this but i'll decide the white I see. anything overly descriptive might make the bs easier to smell. nose up |

I've always been bothered anytime I hear "dripping with luster"
Makes my skin crawl, most unpleasant descriptor I could possibly think of

"Vintage" - Sellers often use this to refer to older common date circulated coins that are being listed for way more than they are worth.

I had never seen the term "blast white" until I came to the CCF.
I use it in CCF posts because most people here in the CCF seem to have a good visual idea of what "blast white" means to them.
So I am happy to go with the majority.

With diamond grading, there several sub grades that relate to the 'white' color. (Color is one of the 4 C's)
Color grading doesn't mean anything when it comes to coins, but color does affect visual appeal in a subjective perception, and thus may affect the value.
