OMG! I have been called out by the E-Bay coin possie!

All I did was mention the word "Bath" in an auction!


I bet you didn't know that if you give a coin a bath, PCGS and NGC will bodybag it!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    You need to remember that all new collectors are told to NEVER clean a coin. Yes, using MS70 on your coin is acceptable, but some folks who are not as advanced, think that MS70 is the same as cleaning. I think you were diplomatic in your response. That person was just repeating the mantra told to all new collectors.

    I say ban Madmarty and string him up. Anyone who would clean coins obviously doesn't know what they are doing. All you need to do is look at what Marty makes at PCGS/NGC to know that...TOP POPS!!!image

    Anything less would be outragesimage

    Love the response to top question.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.


  • Marty;

    You should have mentioned these coins came from a Leper colony.. thus the need to be "sanitized" with MS70. ha
  • I'm sorry Marty I could not resisist

    I had to ask a question......

    I tossed you a changeup.
  • People flip out like that sometimes.

    I once had an auction where it showed my finger holder the rim of a coin. I received a furious email from a member stating I should always use cotton gloves because I was reducing the grade of the ocin otherwise image

    Maybe people should create ebay auctions and then use the Q&A as an open forum to replace the one lost here.
