One of the worst things any man can do...

These aren't my pictures, but I recently saw this and it really disturbed me.

Apparently someone was selling these coins in a lot his family had kept for generations.

Sorry, can you spell it out, not getting what you are referring to

 

Looks like the coins are taped down to the piece of paper. Yes, bad, bad, bad.

 

Yes, this is pretty bad but it looks like it was done out of mere ignorance without malicious intent. At least they don't look like they were cleaned. I've seen and heard of far worse happening to coins. Examples include jagoffs turning perfectly good silver coins into coin rings, putting coins into jewelry mounts, melting them down, buffing them, etc.

 

They look really nice. The tape will come off without harming the coins. May require an acetone bath but that's no big deal.

 

In my town, our one room schoolhouse from the 1700s has a large cent taped to the wall in a glass display case. They found it during a 1930s renovation. The reverse has the fraction 1/100. I've talked with the person who managed the place and they didn't care. Still makes me mad. I offered a 2x2, flip, or airtite. But nooo..

 

They don't look like they are sealed in acrylic.

 

Nope. Have to disagree. The worst thing any man can do is tell his wife that her backside looks mighty big in those new blue jeans. Ask me how I know....

 

Couple that with an unfortunate incident after leaving the toilet seat up, and you have the big mistake hat trick.

 

I don't like it when someone tapes coins either, but at least they didn't "shine em up" first. Acetone will take care of the tape residue.

 

Cleaning a coin with a sos pad. One of my relatives did this.

 

Tape residue isn't as much of a problem, when tape gets on a coin it takes off the patina with it, making it look polished.

 

Don't have to tell me the details, but both you & Randy each sound like a prime candidate for a dope slap upside the head! But don't feel too shamed…. I had to learn toilet seat adjustments twice.

Having grown up in a family of three brothers and no sisters, it took my first spouse less than the week of our honeymoon to train me to leave the seat down for the next 33 years. Following two years of the single life, my next fine lady required a bit closer to a month to train me to lower the lid as well…. She was deathly afraid her kitty-cat, would fall into an open toilet. Twelve years later, the cat's never fallen in and is happily approaching her 18th birthday in September. Meow…

edited. Read the rules.

 

When do you get out of the hospital?

 

EX-misses Abercrombie?

 

Two of them to date.

 

My dad had 4, and no.1 and no.4 were the same woman. My mom was no.2.
I learned from that, and still just have no.1.

 

Looks like they were put into a food vacuum-pack sealer to me.

 

Yeah, Randy, that or "Honey, does this dress make me look fat?" Clueless husband replies " No, dear, you are fat." YIKES!!

No offense, but if you truly believe this is one of the worst things any man can do, you have a lot of living to do....
