Thad, I thought the term slider meant it is an AU coin...because of the slide marks on it. The slide marks possibly coming from album covers sliding across the coin, or from the coin moving around in a drawer and developing slight wear. Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 02/10/2010 10:53 am Thad, I came up empty in my search in printed literature this morning. So far what I'm finding says a slider is an AU coin, but I'm looking for the origin of the term. For now, I'm gonna say I was wrong in thinking the term "slider" and "slide marks" are related. I'll keep digging. pcgs.com glossary definition: slider: A term used to describe an AU coin that looks, or can be sold as, Uncirculated. Occasionally used as a reference to another grade; a slider EF coin, for example, would be a VF/EF coin that is nearly EF. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/10/2010 12:28 pm That is the problem with slang words sometimes, they have different meanings for different people I have always taken it to mean that a coin could slide up a grade on any given day depending on who was looking at it and generally used to describe a lustrous and eye appealing high AU coin.
