Now when we read descriptions of coins we must put up with social commentary
In description of a 1892CC morgan
"Both dies were cracked in a spidery peripheral manner when this coin was struck, the reverse much farther along and in imminent danger of collapse—much like the majority of bridges in today's national infrastructure."
really?
come on

And then reality strikes.
I'm with waterzooey on this one. End the description with the word "collapse" and it's good and witty, leaving further imagery and/or political and social commentary to the mind of the reader. Instead we're left judging the person that wrote the description, wondering where they get their information (is there a citation of their poorly quantified statistic?), and questioning their motiviation, which distracts from the fact there there's a coin for sale in here somewhere.

Exactly. Not something the writer should make a habit of, but one time on a dull day, about coin he's probably unimpressed with?
I give him a pass.
