I had to explain this one to a friend last week:

B&M: Brick and Mortar, as in an old-fashioned coin store. Or, depending on context, could be Bowers and Merena.

LanLord

JMHO

A few changes and updates:

1909 VDB MPL-Victor David Brenner cent design, matte proof like ? Change this to be MATTE PROOF LINCOLN

PC holder- I read this as POLITICALLY CORRECT holder, as in it's in a PCGS holder

Modern Crap- anything newer that what interests the person responding. No specific cutoff date, also used to raise ire in another poster

Don't forget to add

UHR Ultra High Relief $20 struck in 2009, dated MMIX

Would this be a good place to add a list of all the Mint box product codes, or should they have their own thread?

Yeah, 2 1/2 years ago. That's quite a while. He had health problems. Makes me wonder if he's still around....

ED - Early Date?

Okay.
I have a very big problem with acknowledging this abbreviation because the ads on TV talks about ED being a medical issue needing a pill to rectify.

I always thought ED meant Environmental Damage which usually means corrosion although I can certainly understand an old coin collector thinking it's a medical condition.

Seems there are a few additions
B&M can still be B&Merena because someone may want a B&M catalog
So, there’s now - SB - Stack’s Bowers
GC - Great Collections
HA - Heritage Auctions

Good to see this one resurrected.... We do have a lot of new forum members.... so it serves as a helpful reference for them when reading threads. Cheers, RickO

GAE and SAE referring to ASE and AGE. Interesting 👍🏼

DoubleEagle59

and of course the ever classic...."RFR" which is used when referring to a deal on Ebay that is much too good to be true.

RFR = 'Run Forrest Run".

"Rattler" - An old type of PCGS coin holder and not a snake.
