That is nice, I like it.
So, if I don't like it, should I keep my mouth shut or just crap up someone's pending sale?
Rule on the BST is if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
With KollectorKing continually sharing things found there here on the forum that seems to be forgotten.
I'm sure some sellers like the extra exposure, but may not be pleased that some members are making remarks such as to over grading and pointing out issues.

I've started to wonder how many potential buyers have gotten boned because the coins get brought to the masses on this forum, and not to just those looking to buy on the BST. It could spur an impulse buy and someone gets the sharp end of the stick.
The BST is a forum venue to sell coins. As such, they are open to viewing and commentary... no different than ebay or any other website that posts coins for sale... we comment on them, the BST is not exempt. We should refrain from commentary and let another forum member take a loss? We have new members all the time....They deserve help, and if posting a coin with an issue, they deserve the same treatment as any other seller. Cheers, RickO
I can spin a coin's imperfections on most anything I put my mind to via micro-grading.
And any chimp can do the same based on their ability to misread coins as well.

You needn't be a Stoic to exercise some. That's why @DonWillis invented the PM function
There's plenty of exemplars for newbies without crapping on my next door neighbor's front lawn.
Simplistic, but I think of BST as deserving a coin club congeniality not extended to other venues.
Coins for sale belong on BST, where comments should be only to protect other collectors from serious issues or misrepresentations. Comments like I don't like the price, toning, or photos should not be allowed.
Posting current sales here is an invitation to trouble....remember the well-meaning posting of a dealer's 1795 dollar that was had gone from PCGS 55 to NGC 62 and the exposure on this forum was instructive but unwelcome by the dealer.

It seems wrong to me to use this forum to comment on coins in another forum, all from the same board. Comment on them there, not here.

You just treat them like a women your not attracted to yet still say something nice about not to hurt her feelings
