That coins is really nice for a slider, but I do see the tell-tale signs of rubbing on the hair.

"Super Slider Saturday" I like that!
Yes there's some obverse cabinet friction.
I hate being broke.
You guys are going to make me drool if I keep looking at this thread.
The 20 cent piece is a much more subdued rose color in hand

Here's my favorite AU58(FH), doubt it would go higher, but I think it's strong for the grade.

<< <i>Why are Au58 called sliders, I realize that this has to be one dumb question, but I never really knew why. Let me just say that I would think AU58's may be called sliders because they can be a ms63 the next time it is graded therefore they just slide by the last time they were graded and unfortunately got the au58 grade and not the higher ms63?
Some old time dealers told me sliders got their name because they look like brilliant uncirculated coins that were slid across the top of a bar top creating a trace of wear on the high points. These coins are also called commercial uncs and Coin World uncs.

slider
A term used to describe an AU coin that looks, or can be sold as, Uncirculated. Occasionally used as a reference to another grade; a slider EF coin, for example, would be a VF/EF coin that is nearly EF.
Have heard very similar ... the traces of a slide across a counter or bar, from cabinet friction, from the slides of old albums.
Dealers sometimes used (still use) this to help their buying prices. What would have passed only as a "slider" back in 89-92 (and probably before) to a decerning eye, was quite often marketed as a Choice to Gem Unc.
Funny thing is, now that these have been being slabbed more often over the last decade (on purpose), even the TPG's often give out 62-64 grades for some of the best "sliders". The difference between what a high end 58 and a 62/3 coin is often a very fine line (pun intended).
Here's a pretty decent "slider" ... or is in an Unc????
