Coin filled lucite toilet seat arrives - Caught in the act!

Yes,
I was the lucky winner of the coin-filled toilet seat on eBay. Hid it from the wife while I was away at the Long Beach show...didn't want her to know about it prematurely.
While she was away, I skinned my knuckles and twisted by back & neck to impossible
angles while I installed the heavy seat and lid in the powder room. You can just imagine her expression when she first came in from work and used the powder room.
"That's NOT staying," she announced. I explained that it made a statement (exactly what that statement was I did not elaborate). Verdict is still out.
Since I read that Bowers & Meraena would pay One Million dollars for a 1913 Libery Nickel, I thought I'd check out the two polished and embedded Liberty Nickels in the seat for a date.
My wife snapped this one while I was checking the embedded coins for a 1913
Liberty Heat Nickel. There were two embedded...an 1898 and a 1901. No jackpot for me.
Wait, is that an axe she has besides the camera?

i am jealous and may need to get a seat like that.
The main reason i wanted to win it was to send the politicians a clear message every time i had to go!!! Les

Ditto!
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Ahh, if coins could talk, tellers of tales gone by...
Now that should go into a registry set.
ROFLMAO!

By the way....NOW'S the time to change your eBay user name from "iras4" to "iras1-2
.....meaning, of course..... "Ira Stein.....the number 1 guy in the number 2 business". Ira's signing off now........he has some coin business to attend to:
If i had gotten that thing......lucite or no lucite......those coins would be toning right now!
Oh.....what did that thing go for anyway?

<< <i>Instead of cabinet friction . . . er . . . uh . . . would they suffer from butt friction??? >>
......or possibly slide friction? BTW, whatever happened to "buy the coin......NOT the holder"? I think in this case the reverse was true....you got it, er, um.....ass backwards!
Geeze.....i sure hope Ira has a sense of humor here.........butt then...he DID buy the seat! All in good fun......
Send these coins out to PCGS........bet they come back "cleaned" for sure. Butt, i could be wrong. In any case........any BB'd ones for AT ones could arguably be proven to have toned quite naturally.
All in all, i guess you could say the coin market is really hot right now....."steamy" hot, and Ira is sitting on a windfall!

Just wanted you to know I'm jealous!!
And if your wife decides it, you, or both have to leave the house, you're both welcome to hide out at my place here in California.

The seat looks better installed than it did on the eBay listing!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
That's a classic!
You mean posterior?
