Hair and Tobacco on a ebay image??

AnkurJ

I was thinking about this until I read the description...

yikes!

Description reads: This is a 1803 S 253 Draped Bust Large Cent with Small Date and Small Fraction. There is a small patch of red verdigris around date area. Please note that almost all of my scans today came out with dust, lint, hair, tobacco, and other foreign matter that are not associated with coin.

An interesting combination of "too much detail" as well as "withholding some details".

Other foreign matter. I do not like to dwell on that.

I do not want to know what other 'things' this person has been scanning.

I suppose that since tobacco was mentioned, there are certain folks who do not like cigarette smoke, who should take this comment as a hint to stay away.

Sounds like a good general comment for everyone to stay away.

Trying to indicate buyer doesn't have to worry about cleaning of any type?

Hey, I need a laugh today. Can someone please dig up that Ebay thread with the picture of the coin, but the guy's gut got in the way when he snapped the pic? The entire thread is hilarious, not just the picture.

I don't even want to know where that coin has been.

I thought I had it bad getting reflections off the little pits in the coins. Now I don't feel so bad.
