[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 26658040, member: 86815"]I'm posting this for some end of week light relief. I trawl through Ebay in spare moments mainly because I have a sense of humour. Over the past few months I have noticed a number of different vendors proudly displaying slabbed coins whilst they are wearing heat resistant gloves. I appreciate wearing thin cotton gloves are used for significant historical items but slabbed coins? Really ? Is there something we need to know? [ATTACH=full]1700764[/ATTACH] I bought a Scuba demand valve regulator some years ago and it had a Californian label attached warning me that the mouthpiece could be a carcinogenic plastic. I decided there and then that I would not eat the mouthpiece and simply stick to plain food. Here is the latest coin I came across. Of course the seller could be worried about catching bronze disease from this one. [ATTACH=full]1700765[/ATTACH] Why do you think these sellers wear protective gloves? I don't think anyone with Eczema , Dermatitis or Psoriasis would want to wear such coarse gloves. Forrest Gump comes to mind. SIASD.[/QUOTE]
