    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?

    Bourse must have been really crowded. No place to sit and sort through purchases. Very practical solution, two birds with one stone.

    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. 🤮

    Did he not realize that someone could've grabbed a few and been out of there before he could see who it was?

    Now are we talking the entire platter, rice and everything? or just like 1 small piece of chicken? asking for a friend.....

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

    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!
