Dang, that coin is Hammered! (pun intended ;) )
While I agree with your list of the vices, I'm still not sure how they apply to numismatics, or what you are saying turns you off.
I'm really not sure what you are saying turns you off? If I cherrypick something, I'm going to brag about it. If I buy something at a great...
That toning is not consistent with patterns normally associated with traditional coin storage methods.
NGC stopped using the multi-coin slabs several years ago. They are still available for bulk (dealer-only? maybe) submissions, but the average...

Haha, brilliant.
For a Buffernick? Absolutely not. That is a really common coin, and not worth the time/expense of the trip. You can find a hundred of them online,...
