What a shame - this WAS a nice coin

Isn't the first rule in numismatics "hold the coin by the edges"? I've had folks dump a roll of BU cents out in their hands to look at them, then put them back in the roll, smile, and quote a price above ask. But this auction seller is the worst I've seen. Check out the bottom picture!!

    The person who purchases this coin will not know what he/she is in for...That is, until many years after the return policy has expired...thats too bad

    This should be on page one of "Coin Collecting for Dummies".

    If the image is accurate for color, that was a very nice coin. Good price also, even with the $4.50 shipping.

    It appears the $4.50 includes HANDLING...................

    It would be really bigtime funny if the seller had crud under his fingernails.If I bought his coins, I'd neutralize them in alcohol or acetone.
