Is the term Slider grade still used today?

YaHa

I can remember years ago, going to coin shows and watching many dealers in action at the tables offer up so called raw "SLIDERS" coins..

I always believed a Slider is ones opinion, hence trying to get more bang for the buck.


So, is that term still being used today?

I heard it used just last night when the late Billy Mays was hawking a 4 at a time mini hamburger press (you dont even need to flip them!)...and the burgers were called sliders.

Welcome back YaHa.
Looks like the "prune juice" or whatever the hospital gave you cleared up the ol' plugged duct.

When I was lying in the hospital I heard Billy Mays died.. So how was he on tv at 4.

Boobtube magic.

And yes slider is used at least around Sacramento to denote AU-58/64 grades.

They are still running his commercials. The GREAT never die...they just live on in reruns....

We discussed this here a few weeks ago, I think the consensus was it is still around, albeit not like it was years ago.

Still used quite a bit. A lot of people still post buys for sliders on dealer only networks.

Slidders are now usually called AU58's when being purchased and MS65's when being sold.

Yes, except all the sliders I see now have been assigned "real" MS grades.

"Slider" is a fiercely abused term.
