1st - not a coin, it's a token.
2nd - it is circulated and cannot be damaged.
3rd - people that collect tokens don't care - these things were made to circulate.
way off on 2 and 3. i honestly have no idea how any fair minded individual could have the opinion of #2. earned disagree click.
It can't be damaged by him laying it on his finger, unless he was washing up with nitric acid, and other acids without being too specific.
If the token is already circulated, letting it touch his fingers isn't going to add any wear.
I forget that we are living in a politically correct world now, so anything that doesn't agree with someone's point of view should be corrected by the thought police. Lighten up people! If you're not careful, you are going to melt.
I undid the disagree, but the statement is still wrong. Circulated coins can be damaged. In the case of the photo, probably unlikely to be unless he handled it roughly (which the photo cant say one way or the other).
I do take offense to your statement though. Just because I think circulated coins can be damaged, and called you out for a fallacious statement, does not subject me to the harassment that you served.
Afterall, thats the entire point of a forum, is it not? To discuss ideas back and forth. Not say, "oh sorry, we must be living in a PC world if you think differently than me."
Meaningful debate discusses the statements and ideas. It does not attack the people.
I don't have a problem with your disagreement, or the use of the "Disagree" button. I don't look at it as being a negative item - it's there for a reason. And ditto.
