Taco Bell napkins

OK... so I finally had presence of mind to not throw away all the napkins from my last visit to Taco Bell. My question is... are the napkins just the generic brown ones or are they supposed to have some design on them? I see nothing special in the brown napkins I have... L

    No not plain brown.

    They're the ones with the little symbol embossed in the corner like this...

    Are the Chipotle napkins the same/similar to those of Taco Bell?

    So you go to a chain that was bankrolled by McDonald's instead?

    I can see Mexico from my house. Taco Bell is ok for super cheap American Mexican food.

    The best Mexican food does not come from any chain. It comes from the small shops that are always packed with people.

    Anyway the key here is to use very cheap paper. The cheaper the better you can AT your coins. The more chemical residue oozing out of the cheap paper the more colors!

    Just look at the stains on the paper from this US Mint set. They sure did use cheap cardboard in those sets!

    hmm I,m getting hungry with all this talk of fast food.
    We have a sandwich shop here called Schlotskys
    and they have a similar brown napkin.

    It's worth a trip to Schlotsky's for a great sandwich under the guise of of numismatic research. I have some Taco Bell experiments going on at the moment, due to what I've been reading here. Too early to tell yet.

    This kind of talk is the reason PCGS is grading toned material as harshly as they currently are.

    Whether these coins are being submitted or not, anything else that is suspected of being AT'd will fall under the AT umbrella and be placed in a genuine holder...

    And then to brag about what napkins are used... on PCGS's website!

    Brazen.
    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    One thing I miss about living in the S.F. Bay Area is those trips to the Mission District in San Francisco and those awesome monster burritos.
