"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.

Almost Good = Almost as bad as they get
Very Good = Very Worn
Very Fine = Kind of average
Uncirculated = Not too obviously worn
Choice Uncirculated = Probably actually mint state

Mr. Feld, why not change the title of this thread to "What are some interchangeable numismatic terms that are used to describe coins?"

Used to be "Post Strike Damage" but now it's "Post Mint Damage"
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Would "Blowhard" and "Know-it-All" be interchangeable?
