Yes, that is an actual quote from this auction description , among others from the same seller. Thank goodness this guy only destroyed a handful of low-value coins. I think I'm going to drop him an email before he destroys something valuable.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Amazing... I run into it several times a week... People at work know I collect coins.. and often bring me coins to evaluate with the comment "They were dirty, so I cleaned them up so you could see them better.".... I do not see them better due to the tears in my eyes... Cheers, RickO

    It's just so good that the original owner was a non-smoker. Because I'm sure the coins all picked up that non-smoker smell. How would a bare coin still smell like smoke after being cleaned? Can't happen.

    Edit: Look at the Google ads, those of you who have not made them disappear. They are all for metal cleaners.
    I have been a collector for over mumbly-five years. I learn something new every day.

    Well, he did say that his coins are CAREFULLY cleaned. You wouldn't want them recklessly cleaned, would you?

    I am not for cleaning. But what is this stuff? (Tarni-Shield Silver Cleaner w/anti-Tarnish Protector by 3M). Is it abraisive?
