I had to look up the word Colloquialism before I posted.

I'm far from starting a Colloquialism thread.

Screw it. TW is in.

PTP - PreservingThePast she has not posted much lately but I feel she needs to be on this list as well.

TW was infront of me at the Credit Union today, she had a large amount of CRW to turn in for these "worthless" coins her late husband had spent so much time collecting, for FRN's. I told her I would gladly buy them from her at face value! She agreed and I was able to get quite a few IHC's, LWC & some CDN cents as well from her. I should put these in the next KSA! LOL!

WTB wanted to buy

I believe you meant to say "FV"

FV - Face Value
NORFED - National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Code
"Old Realcent" (realcent.forumco.com)
UNC - uncirculated

BTTT - bump to the top, or back to the top. People sometimes post this to get their thread to appear at the top of the forum. And that is what I am doing with this post, how smart is that?

TGIF
YOLO
FUBAR
BK
KFC
BOGOF
TTYL

On a serious note

MS - mint state
BU - Brilliant Uncirculated
AG - Almost Good
XF - Extra fine

This needs to be a sticky thread!!!

In.

Coo grading terms like DMPL make me think of FSB and FS:
FSB: Full Split Bands, as on a Mercury dime reverse.
FS: Full Steps, as on a well-struck Jefferson nickel reverse.

WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get, often seen in auctions where the seller simply posts a pic... enticing you to just take a little look-see.

And seeing Roosie brings a few more oft-mentioned types to mind:
Mercs: mercury dimes
SLQ: Standing Liberty Quarter
JFK: Kennedy half dollar
Bens? Walkers? Etc

Wondering if political terminology should be here or not... Choose what you like!
Dems, Libs,
BHO, King Zero, etc: terms for our president
MSM: mainstream media...
ZH: Zero Hedge website

Ni = Nickel (element)
CAD = Canadian Dollar
GBP = British Pound
CHF = Swiss Franc
EUR = Euro
JPY = Japanese Yen

Good info... how did we not have NI yet? I would add RMB for Renminbi since it may be the world's reserve currency soon. Oh, and EU means European Union...

Renminbi is the domestic name for the currency, CNY is the international code.

Good point of clarification, Bill. Thanks.
From the thread which brought this one back to life:

Thought these two should come over here.

Made sticky forever

Thanks Jade
What about these basic Internet-ese abbreviations?
IMO and IMHO
In My (Humble) Opinion
Or are we making the list too long now?

This should be for related materials only. There are so many acronyms for non-realcent terms it would be overkill IMHO....

Might I also suggest this be made available to any and all non-member whom don't have access to the members forums by placing it where it can also be seen?
