<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 342520, member: 4552"]At a local flea market there is a guy that shows up usually only on Fridays. He basically sells coins. Some other items but biggest commodity is coins. He is sort of a weirdo since although he sells coins he bsically throws all US coins in one big bin and foreign coins in anther one. He has a habit of just leaving to go to the washroom and usually just asks anyone to watch his stuff. Myself and several others told him that at such times and even while he is there many coins are vanishing in people's pockets. </p><p>So a week or so ago he started to listen and started to TAPE all coins onto sheets or places them in old beat up Whitman folders and then again tapes them in. He also wets the backs of the slots so the coins stick to the glue there. I attempted to tell him he is ruining the coins. </p><p>This week even worse. Now almost all coins taped to something with Scotch clear tape. Again, I attmpted ot tell him the coins are being ruined but he said just use Naptha and it will all come off. These are Mercury Dimes, Liberty Head Dimes, Seated Liberty Dimes, Quarters and lots more. </p><p>I just walk away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
