This is a reference to a known Ebay seller who adds multiple fluorescent stickers to his coin holders, oftentimes with one of them reading "Cheep". I was attempting to use that one word as a reference to the seller. He tends to have a lot of junky looking coins in his inventory.

Usually, it's "naturally retoned" after saying it had an "old cleaning".

This word often has a negative connotation, oddly enough. It means that the coin is a very common date that trades as Type; it may be the most common date in the series.

Just thought of two more that I haven't seen yet on this thread:
Bright - on a circulated coin Woodgrain - I know some people like it on copper coins, as for me I can't stand it. I've seen maybe a couple of coins with that woodgrain look that were halfway attractive, but they were lustrous and high grade. I've seen my share of ugly (IMHO) 1909-S VDB's with that look.

sonorandesertrat said "conserved." You know Howard Hughes was eccentric, you or I would be crazy. Howard Hughes' coins would be conserved, yours and mine would be cleaned. All it takes is a little money.

When I started on this thread I thought, how many would suggest they are annoyed with this word. Surprisingly, no-one mentioned it until now. NICE! How overused is that word? I hate it because seldom is there an explanation following that word. Just how nice is it? I would really like to know and they don't say a thing about the coin other than, it's NICE! Referring to a rather large nick on the cheek of a coin I sent the seller the message, "what's so NICE about the hit on the cheek?"
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

There's only a single description that will turn me off for a coin or other collectible; "common". Sure I have common coins in my collection but if it's a common coin I want an uncommon variety or condition.
"Cheap" is wonderful and doubly so when it's also rare.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not.

You hate it when they misspell cheap?

Ex-jewelry (coins with removed pins and clasps and loops are so often destroyed) I prefer them whole.

You can be sure that it's mostly never true.

I didn't realize "trosen" was the alt of "DIMEMAN"!
I shouldn't have read the damn thread.
