    I'd want to get as much oil, snot, & ear wax on this to speed up the re-skinning process :p

    I have some of that stuff to spare - I am glad to know it is good for something.

    Do you want to send me the coins for treatment, or should I send you the raw materials?

    Again, I'd be VERY concerned if I were to have purchased any coins the OP posted on the BST. Can't remember the last time a newb had an item listed for sale, only wanting PP gift, not willing to send first due to having had no transactions, whether buying or selling. Joined in March, but didn't post until November? I certainly have reservations now as to the buyers of his coins actually receiving them.

    I'll come up with something.

    ....and furthermore, the OP has deleted the images from bst, yet has left them here.. hmmmm...mmmm.

    Wow this place is very weird. I really wish I could post some more of the coins have here because I am sure there are many good guys lurking here who enjoy this hobby. I can also see why probably many others simply choose to just move on. At this point I think it will take a whole lot less energy for me to just bring all these coins to a few local dealers and work it out with them.
    I have had at least a dozen pm’s that just turned me off completely. How can anyone feel comfortable here. Sorry to those who would have enjoyed seeing more of this hoard but I just can’t deal with being maligned when I have been very honest and upfront. So much for expanding your hobby.

    I will give you $20.00

    Dang I posted before I seen your post sorry!

    You'd want to be offering up to pay the 2.9% atop the sellers ask just to have protection.

    Thx for alerting us - I was not even aware the OP had moved his merchandise to the BST so soon after generating some buzz here. I guess he was not as offended by all of us as he indicated.

    One thing I learned years ago is that when someone is instinctively distrustful, it often is an indication that they themselves are untrustworthy. I am not saying that this necessarily applies in this case, but the OP did not respect the members' opinions, nor the members' integrity. To force potential buyers to forego PP protection over 3% or whatever the fee is, is a bit odd.

    I am left to wonder if the whole thing was some kind of charade just to sell the coins here.

    I think the OP knew exactly what the coin is & it's worth. He was "toying" or baiting CU members just to see where it leads. It was his intention to sell it. Now whether it was a legit sale, we'll never know or do I care.

    There's a pun in there somewhere, with the sundial and all.

    I really only meant that I would have preferred the look of the coin before it was shined up. I'm not that creative with my words... ha!

    I just read the OP's first post....bought a hoard of 100 coins, decided to come here to have the coins identified, given a price, then wanted to skip over to the BST to sell them. I'm on the fence as to whether or not the OP knew what was going on all along, and, like KollectorKing said, toyed with membership.

    I'm not quite sure it was all that good an idea to usher the newb (joined in March, first post in Nov??) to the BST so quickly. It usually never works out very well for the buyers when newbs just join to sell, then do so....

    Though, the OP HAD been lurking quietly earlier today (he/she cleaned that Fugio with a PAPER towel??? lol)

    I'll come up with something.
