Were on HSN when I watched last night. (Lucky they were on in the 10
minutes before I screamed in pain at the price for 'valuable AU Morgans').

Hey, it's not HSN's fault that coin collectors don't realize that coins are
worth far more than we think, and that they're ALL rare.

"Slider Slabs" sounds like a term for White Castle burger containers.

If memory serves (and these days, no guarantee is being offered on that
score) it came out to $40 per common date AU Morgan. The pitch was that
NGC had done a volume discount certification. HSN offered up a
wheelbarrow of Morgans, asked for them to separated and certified either
AU or BU, using only "one grader and one finalizer" rather than a full
caucus of Experts, and these were the result. Our Host described them
as 'Sliders, a term that any dealer knows means that the coin could
slide between the two grades, AU and BU'. I always have associated it
with cabinet wear, but I guess either definition is now acceptable.

Did the term "slider" originally refer to a coin showing cabinet friction?
That would make some sense, since sliding is the cause.
Nowadays the term is consistently used to refer to a coin with just the
slightest wear (the kind a person of naughtiness might try to pass off as
Unc.).

That is where I saw them too!!! Doesnt NGC usually use FOUR diffrent
graders when slabbing a coin?? I noticed on the "Slider Slabs" they
did not give a number grade, either AU or BU. Does NGC do this just
for HSN?? HSN should be ashamed of the prices they charge for the lots
they sell on tv!! Sometimes 100% ++ of real market value!! They sure
do have alot of proof sets!!!!!!

I hadn't heard that one before, but the burgers themselves are widely known
(with good reason) as sliders.
