....................... I'm trying very hard to like this.. but I just can't get there. This will be about the only time I say I hope those coins are fake. ...... I could have bought the darn coins off ya if you needed to get rid of them.... it kind of makes me think, "what are they trying to say by this, coin collectors can take a dump?" lol

 

Just more crappy items on the bay

 

Looks like at this moment there are 3 watchers.
I suspect they are "curious" rather than potential bidders.

 

That one may have nicer coins...but perhaps it would be a more palatable purchase IF IT WASN'T USED!!!!!

There isn't enough Clorox in the world to make me want to buy a used toilet seat. On eBay.

 

Ah, another fine collection of Seated coins!

There was one guy who always set up at our local shows with one of these, and he'd stack his "bargain" problem coins inside the seat. His business cards included the tag-line "The Best Seat in the House".

One word of advice: do not buy one of these with a plan to crack the coins out. It's nearly impossible to do it, and the coins are generally polished before they go in.

 

Got one of these in my antique mall booth. I think I priced it at 99.95. Lots of lookers. So far everyone is standing and looking. No one has taken a seat.

 

And it's been "harshly cleaned"...

 

I HOPE it was harshly cleaned!!!!

 

I helped a coin dealer break open one of these when silver hit $82 per ounce.
The copper coins were real. The "silver" coins were all shiny foil impressions of
the real coins. Since then I've also seen a "key date" cc morgan in a desk set that when busted out was found to be a foil impression. As stated previously when the coins turn out to be real you can expect that they will be harshly cleaned. Stay Away from these unless they are so cheap you can't help yourself. I wouldn't risk more than twenty dollars on one and even then I would use it as a mother-in-law picture frame.

 

Back in the early 90's, I dated a girl who had an extraordinarily wealthy uncle. I never met him because he was always 'away on business' which turned out to be 'away in a federal penitentiary'. Anyway, he had 3 of these custom made, with coins he hand selected, depending upon which bathroom it was going into. In the 'World Room', it was all gold coins from around the world. In the 'Game Room', it was vintage silver casino tokens. And in the pub ( a dismantled and re-assembled English pub that was bought from England and had shipped to the house), which he called his saloon, was all CC minted silver coins of the cowboy era.

Some people have more money then they know what to do with.

 

His you would want. Ones you made yourself would be ideal. Common circulated sets such as 1941-1958 wheats - the first Jefferson nickel folder or a set of the silver roosies wouldn't cost much.

 

Are you posting from the far future, then?

 

The toilet paper roll needs to look like dollar bills.

 

during the silver rush in the very early 80s the top price was spiking over $80 per ounce and then the price collapsed when the folks who were trying to corner the market in silver ran out of money. They were the Hunt Brothers. They did not think that people would ever sell the family silver. That is what did them in.

 

I'm not sure every source agrees exactly, but wasn't it more like $49 and change?

could be since I was going by memory. I sold most of mine at $28.
My memory says there was a very brief spike then it collapsed. Most folks didn't get $49 because they were selling scrap silver and coins instead of .999

 

What if one of the coins slipped out and went down with your... never mind.
