You know, the nicknames that you can say and you immediately know what date/mm we are talking about and even the series...

I can think of:

3-legger
accented hair (you're welcome, Russ!)
55 double die
bugs bunny
the world's most valuable coin

Can you think of some more?

There are lots of them in the large cent series. Here are some:
Chain, wreath. Apple cheeks, starred reverse, Shielded hair, office boy reverse, fallen 4, Wheel spokes (This one could refer to a 1794 or 1829), Jefferson head, gripped edge, Q variety, mouse, booby head, silly head. And from a couple other series Bearded Goddess, and Racketeer.
