George Carlin and Numismatics?

MrEurekaMrEureka Posts: 24,194 ✭✭✭✭✭
George Carlin did a famous skit on the "Seven words you can't say on TV". (For the youngsters out there, these are the same types of words that are guaranteed to get you a spanking by Carol. image )

So, let's see, what are the "Seven words you can't say among coin collectors"? Please explain your answers!

    "That cool coin of your is AT" - self explanatory

    OK, reread and can only use one word. How about "Kincoin"?

    I'm sick of hearing "gem brilliant uncirculated" One of those things that just been said so often it doesnt even sound like real words anymore

    I have a George Carlin Quote day calendar. Todays quote: " A tree: First you chop it down, then you chop it up". I'll let you know if he has anything to say about coins.

    3: cufk...Coin Universe Fully Knowledgeable
    4: unc t... uncirculated toned
    5: ccko sucker...coin collectors knowledge overlooked (which may result in being called a) sucker
    6: the rom cufkre...the head executive reasonably over markets Coin Universe's fortitude & knowledge regarding exonumia
    7: itts...is this too stupid?

    And itts doesn't even belong on the list...ya know

    Counterfeit (it's like saying "Bomb" on an airplane)

    AT (even if you say a coin is not AT, you'll plant doubt in the other person's mind)

    Slider (slider is term that implies deception)

    Unc (rymes with "bunk" or "flunk". I HATE this term. When I hear dealers use it I just roll my eyes and think how stupid they sound)

    Colorized (any serious collector would run for his life)

    Investment (as in "investment opportunity". You know it's a poorly performing series.)

    Microscopic (more like "Megascopic")

    How about "deeply toned BU?"

    The best, Gem Brilliant Uncirculated to describe the coins in an unopened obw roll.

    The ones that Coast to Coast and other jackasses has used is Borderline Uncirculated. All with the blessing of Coin World. image But then again, nothing is Borderline anymore. They made it to Brilliant Uncirculated!

    Selling cents by the pound!!!!!!

    Sample slab?????????? Doesn't rise to the level of the others. What else can you call them???
