I've just been asked to perform an unthinkable act, total blasphemy

DNADave

A friend of my wife found 6 Morgan dollars in the attic of a house they've lived in for 11 years. The Morgans are toned some beautiful reds, yellows and blues, possibly from being stored under some old insulation.

He sent them home with her and wants me to OMG, CLEAN them for him so he can give them to his nephews for Christmas.


I refuse but from what she says these puppies are going to get scrubbed by this guy... I'll probably offer to buy them at full retail just to keep the two best ones.


Why do people think this way?

Why don't you just quietly replace them with some blast-white ones of the same dates? Or even different dates if he doesn't care?

C'mon, man! Get creative! These are TONED COINS you are talkin' 'bout!

switch em out with white ones.

Switch 'em!!!!!! and then take some of the profit from selling them and buy them some books on Coin care.

Why do people think this way?

because they're normal.

Better yet:

Tell your wife's friend how much the toned coins could be worth and tell him that he could sell them and buy some nice blast-white coins and still have some money left over.

If he's not interested, ask him if he'd mind if you just replace the coins with blast white ones.

(Unless, of course, he's not a particularly close friend, in which case -- hose 'im and switch the coins. Just make sure you don't tell your wife or anyone else, lest it get back to her friend.)

You blew it!! Youv'e allready told the world. Now be up front with your friend and see if you can work a trade with him for some white slugs.
