Thanks Steve... I should have known you already steered it there. I'll edit my previous post if you guys think it's off color. I was trying to show how so many COMPANIES misspell things.
I have an 1827 that's similar in color- I really like it because it looks so un-messed with. By the way, I'm a teacher. Never underestimate the private lives of teachers.

My x-wife is or was a teacher...a frigid one...who should have and needed to. Needless to say, I'm happily divorced. Plus, I look back and recall how 90 percent of my school teachers(you could just tell) needed some, but no man with a heart beat would go there. Stereotypical? Nah...

What does your inability to defrost have to do with coins?
What does spelling errors have to do with numismatics? I would think the majority of us are out of school and have no need for a tutor let alone someone to point out errors. And I'm not so sure dry ice defrost.
Did I just begin that last sentence with "And"? and

Here is a 155 year old coin. This coin truly has never been messed with. Lost 155 years ago and recovered in 2007. I was standing next to my father, when he pulled it out of the ground. No cleaning, no crusty look to it. I am starting to believe that "crusty" look is nothing but a by-product of an old cleaning. But, hey, I just dig em.
why is there no dirt on the coin except inside one "R"?
was it buried in neutral (not acidic, not base) sand? i cannot imagine a coin being buried for a long time and not come up dirty unless the soil it was in was very neutral.
also how do you know when it was lost? was it 5 feet deep or right below the grass at that level?
maybe it was lost 10 years ago when a collector found out all his coins were cleaned and he zinged it accross his fence ;0)

Simply put: Poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation support the theory that the person is a slob.
Hey Dug coins....that exact coin could have at least 100 different "looks" without having ever been cleaned or molested whatsoever. Its all a function of the environment it was stored.

I understand this...this coin was stored outside in the ground for 150 years. Northern Illinois..100 plus degree summer days and minus 30 degree winter days in 5 inches of soil. My point is....150+ year old cirulated coins do not have to be crusty to be original.

Of course there was a small amount of dirt on the coin (not crust), is was buried six inches in the ground. I poured a bottle of water over it. Would you consider this cleaning?

I can tell you the way you spelled "color" is not normal.

Oh, I understand. Most men need to get laid as much as teachers should.

VERY OFF COLOR....or collor as you might put it. But seriously, thats in very poor taste.
Gosh I hope using the semi-colon in the last sentence was grammatically correct.
