Post your abbrevations and meaning to help out the newbie's

I found this post in another thread and thought that maybe all you experienced MD'er could help us by posting your abbreviations and the meanings to help out the slow folks.

Does everybody on here know automatically what an "SLQ" is? It might be because I don't know much (read anything for the most part) about coins, but I don't know if it's a SEATED or STANDING Liberty quarter when it says "SLQ". Is anybody else experiencing this?

Re: Post your abbrevations and meaning to help out the newbie's

IMHO = In My Humble/Honest Opinion
Clad = Typically refers to coins which are not copper or silver, but consist mostly of a cheaper "base" metal.
Coppa = Reference used by many when speaking of large cents, colonial copper cents, etc.
LC = Large Cent
Can-Fetti/Can Slaw = Refers to the tiny bits of aluminum left after a park employee thoughtlessly runs over an aluminum can while mowing.

But af1733, running over an aluminum can makes such a nice ka-chunk noise. Haven't we all done that?

You guys can do better than that! Although Pepper and af1733 started out on a pretty good response.

I'm curious myself ...???!!!
