This is my favorite coin description ever! I bought the coin immediately after reading it!
25C 1892 PCGS MS66+ WOW! This coin is a once in a life time FULL DMPL-with FULL contrast. We have only ever seen one other coin remotely similar. The quality is SUPER HIGH END as well. Full deep mirrors beam boldly from all over. The mirrors are crystal clear, are clean, and have a an intense reflection. You do NOT have to imagine them. When you twirl the coin it looks like a river of ice. There is a faint hint of auburn on the upper obverse rim, other wise this wonder coin is untoned. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and are coated by a GEM white frost. The eye appeal is so jaw dropping you’ll need surgery to undo putting you jaw back to regular position! PCGS 112, NGC 86, CAC 60. PCGS has graded 14 in MS66+. There are NO comparable coins to this one value wise. At the price we are offering it, we think its a great deal and has lots of future potential. In our 40 years of being in business, we have only seen one other piece that was remotely similar. Be glad this once in a life time coin is NOT being sold via auction!
"A bull riders fall" AKA a poorly graded coin.
A graders 8 seconds to grade a coin, and a bull riders 8 seconds to stay on the bull.
Spoken of amongst some collectors. Graders are like bull riders, it can be a tough ride and falls/ mistakes happen.

I think bull riders are probably much more popular with the ladies.

I like to use "meaty" to describe a coin that has exceptionally well defined devices, especially on coins that are known for weak strikes.
I also like to us "honest" to describe a coin I feel has not had anything done to it to make it more valuable, hide a defect, make it appear what it is not, etc... (cleaning, tooling, artificial toning, puttying, etc...).

Fortunately, there are lots of alternatives, such as
“sort of meaty”
“Just like meaty”
“Just like but not quite meaty”
“beyond meaty”
“wish it were meaty”

I've heard this new comment many times and, to me, it seems to sum up a vague sense of agreement. It goes like this.

With thick, sewer colored toning… yes I’ve used that in a couple of threads through the years.

I decided to listen to a "TOP" dealer and feedback my notes:
From HSN (describing 2023 Morgan/Peace Dollar Bullion Coins):
I would have written more, but I got sick and had to turn it off.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

I've also used "scantily clad" in descriptions (besides for type-1 SLQs) before.
On the web: http://www.earlyus.com
" All dicked up" refers to a coin in bad shape
UNDERINFLATED BALD RETREAD TIRE
Virtually uncirculated. Except now I'm not sure if the virtual is just enhanced photography.
Could we also use this when a coin is missing a clad layer?
