Did this show up here yet? I know it's been floating around the socials for a bit.

I wonder what else was "floating around" in that stall!
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Some of those coins looked whizzed.
Coin dealers are famous for their multi-tasking skills.
No way?!?!?
And people were laughing at me??

Ewwwwwwwww, I am glad I use hand sanitizer frequently at shows. I just never knew it was potentially protecting myself from people setting their slabs down on bathroom floors in front of the toilets. People not washing their hands after using the restroom is terribly gross but this takes coin shows to a new low.
Who wants to take sanitizing wipes to all of their slabs now...or is wondering how long germs live on the different brands of slabs?
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
Bourse must have been really crowded. No place to sit and sort through purchases. Very practical solution, two birds with one stone.
So that is how "potty dollars" are made.
PS:
If I went in that stall after that person, I sure hope I wouldn't see any mustard stains.
Must have gotten some shiddy grades...

Crack kills 🤢
Have heard of parking lot coin finds. But bathroom floor coin finds takes it to a different level.
I am literally going to have nightmares over that photo.
My concept of hygiene is a world - no, a universe - apart from that guy.
I may never buy a slabbed coin again. 🤮
I think I know who that dealer is, but I won't say. Let's just say that what he is doing is deplorable.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Did he not realize that someone could've grabbed a few and been out of there before he could see who it was?
true definition of multi-tasking
That beats my weirdest memories of 20 years of attending
There were a lot of facepalm moments seen this week at the show..
Among others I saw a man open mouth sneeze directly onto a dealer’s bourse case that elicited a “What the **** dude?!!?!?!”
Also saw a guy eating his orange chicken and fried rice from the food court with his bare hands. Have some respect for yourself you animal 😂
Someone had a dog without a leash that was going on ahead of the owner and pooping on the floor 🤦♂️
Then you’ve got your standard guy in a jazzy running down a section of people minding their own business.
Now that I think about it, this is all common behavior at coin shows.
BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.
Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby....coincidentally I did have a few coins for NGC at this show
Now are we talking the entire platter, rice and everything? or just like 1 small piece of chicken? asking for a friend.....

Like panic eating the entire platter.

Nah, it wasn't him. I heard it was someone who goes by "Duke of Coins" ... or was it "Dookie of Coins"

FUN post! Nice seeing you at the show Sir Messy!
I have to check the stalls for coins, now?
Who's the one that said; you don't need rubber gloves when holding slabs?
If someone can talk a picture of me like this, I would have been talking a picture of this guy coming out of that stall!

Ah, don't worry about norovirus, guys... after all, he licks each slab clean before he puts them back in his case!

That is a vulnerable situation anywhere in nature—not bright.
I wonder if all those slabs have BN on the label
Or BM
Someone should have put some flex tape on that crack.
What a great fun and revealing thread, it should be saved for posterity .
On the bright side, they appear to all be NGC slabs.
Were there any robberies at the show? I could see a dumb ass thief doing this!
