<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 24884600, member: 24314&quot;]Let me set you and anyone else on this form straight <b><i><u><font size="6"><span style="color: #ff0000">for about the fourth time!</span></font></u></i></b> I am a very old man who does not tolerate some &quot;opinions&quot; from anyone.&nbsp; I learned long ago to be like someone from the &quot;SHOW ME&quot; state.&nbsp; There is so much nonsense spread around on the Internet forums (like what you posted) that it needs to be smacked down so others don&#039;t &quot;parrot&quot; it.&nbsp; Example:&nbsp; Back when I joined the ANA, they considered whizzed coins as cleaned!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am an equal opportunity <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> curmudgeon.&nbsp; I grew up in the sticks-and-stones generation and what we said to others would cause tears today.&nbsp; Writing <b>BS</b> is cold.&nbsp; However, I don&#039;t choose to write several sentences to say the same thing so that I don&#039;t offend anyone here.&nbsp; Time is money and when I have to reply to posts as yours it makes me sick to even be on a chat forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;ll address your notion of arrogance and a know-it-all attitude.&nbsp; I am the least arrogant person you will never know.&nbsp; I know my limits and trust me when I tell you I&#039;m just one of the middle-sized fish in our hobby.&nbsp; I learn something from others just about every day.&nbsp; Example, I&#039;ve been working with a coin doctor for several weeks learning his methods so that I&#039;ll be able to catch more coins with altered surfaces.&nbsp; It is scary.&nbsp; Just because he is very good at what he does, I don&#039;t consider him or anyone else who knows more than me to be arrogant.&nbsp; That&#039;s because if you point to center field wall and say that&#039;s where the home run will be and then do it with a big grin, it is not arrogant.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, you posted that acetone etches metal.&nbsp; Have you confirmed that personally or are you just one of the internet parrots?&nbsp; In my arrogance, I&#039;m going to see if that is correct or BS.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS&nbsp; My comments have nothing to do with the OP soaking coins.&nbsp; Your <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> opinions are my target.&nbsp; Soaking coins is one of the &quot;tricks&quot; of conservation.&nbsp; The OP is on the right track. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
