[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1829061, member: 36230"]I highly doubt there were many who did not recognize a few obviously trashed 1940's quarters as anything but. No and no. The problem is not failing to recognize Bugo's right to trash, clean, destroy, etc, etc his coins, but is the same as in the grill cleaner and negativity threads. It's not the so-called "purists" being offended by his choices, or that anyone really cares what he does. Had he simply made it [I][U]clear[/U][/I] that his "methods" [I][U]are damaging[/U][/I], regardless of the fact he's only using them on junk, I doubt that any of this would be an issue, but saying things such as it turned coins in "[I]terrible shape[/I]" into being "[I]presentable[/I]", or "[I]most of the corrosion was gone[/I]", or that the "[I]improvement is staggering[/I]" could send mixed signals. This should not be that hard to understand. If one wishes to clean their junk, there are better ways than implying this "[I]method[/I]" turned under $4 quarters into $20 uncs.[/QUOTE]
