  So you're directly opposed to the concept of the SecurePlus Sniffer?

  Indeed!
  
  I had some slabs I bought off EBay once that reeked of cigarettes. Sprayed em with Febreze every day for 2 weeks and let em air dry and I finally got them to where they didn't smell so bad.

  Did they tone nicely?

  tell but I quit smoking a year ago so I could prob tell now.

  Iridescent has the scent of a cent if you think about it.

  All the best old toning is brown from tobacco tars.

  There are a number of things that one should never smell.

  ...There's always time for coin collecting.

  Some never smell, some never sell...I'm confused what to do...in retaliation I will sell some coins, and smell others!

  I guess Bear will not be applying for the PCGS Sniffer job.... Seriously though, with all the 'organics' on circulated coinage, the surface is literally in a constant state of 'matter decay'.... Cheers, RickO

  All I know is what my Dad used to say: "If your nose runs and your feet smell, you're built upside down!"

  I never thought that growing old would happen so fast.

  Smells like money to me; tastes like 63 to me. Can you taste the difference between a ms64 and a ms64.4?

  I wonder what disease could be lurking on them. Especially old stuff which could have varieties we are not immune to. Any microbiologists know if disease could survive on coins?
  
  

  Still thinking of what to put in my signature...

  I'm pretty sure that Silver is a strong antibacterial. Heck, it's even in my washing machine.

  After the thread I read on here several days ago about someone talking about pulling a coin out of a portable I don't blame you.

  If you can't smell coins then how do you find them?
