    LOL! Would it change your bid if those fingers were sexy well manicured and painted? image

    Good grief! Nails chewed to the quick!! Ouch!!! That looks painful.

    Is the seller nervous about their listing?

    Do a search on Alopecia Universalis; it's an autoimmune disease which affects hair and nails (and don't worry, it's not contagious).

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Hope you win. Could be a real nail biter.
    I think this seller used to go by Fun Gus Among Us.
    Nice Proof set btw.

    There was a guy on eBay several years with images that appeared to show monkey pox on his fingers. It was disgusting and certainly didn't help his cause.

    I looks like fingers to me. On the bright side, his one feedback is positive! Hope he don't work at McDonalds! That would be mcsick!

    I am not a coin expert but can say that this set rivals any "real" mint set from this year on ebay.


    ...would I buy???

    uhhhh, NOPE!
  • Cougar1978Cougar1978 Posts: 8,776 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nope - I don't bid on anything I can't see decent pics of.

    Looks like his pinkies could use a dip in some 2% potassium permanganate solution.

    It would be great if enough folks were turned off by the pics so I could swoop in and get it cheap ! ! !
    Been jonesing for a '53 set as it's my birth year . . .
    Might just have to give me one for my 60th in a couple of weeks. image

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
  • blacksmokeblacksmoke Posts: 603
    Don't even open the box when you get them. Just forward them right on in for grading. Leave out the part about the finger nails though......image

    He tore a nail opening the box. No big whoop.

    I would buy it if I wanted it... pictures of gnarly fingers do not bother me... Cheers, RickO

    Yup - a lot of coins have seen a lot of everything! Goodness - we worry about a non-rinse but fingers? There would be little to collect! Add in objections to light wipes etc - there goes much 19th century Pr coinage...

    You are looking to buy coins, not someone's nasty fungal fingers.

    I think some coin dip might work wonders on that nail fungus.

    Yuck!!......I wouldn't want those coins at any price.
