<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 8281931, member: 27832&quot;]That was the point I was trying to make. There are enough suckers to keep him in business, and it looks to be pretty lucrative.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, he&#039;s doing a couple of other things:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) He&#039;s trashing coins that were probably otherwise undamaged. No, I don&#039;t get worked up about the loss of some 1959 Lincolns -- I&#039;ve done worse to coins myself -- but it&#039;s still a little bothersome.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) He&#039;s <i>refusing to say</i> that he does this artificially, as an art form. That&#039;s sleazy. To me, it&#039;s right down there with the folks who sell silver-plated bars as &quot;1 ounce .999 mil silver&quot;, or low-content gold coins as &quot;.24 gold&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if he were advertising these as &quot;coin art&quot; or the like, I&#039;d actually consider cheering him on -- and even suggest that he raise his prices, as there&#039;s <i>clearly</i> plenty of demand. Yeah, it&#039;s &quot;damaging&quot; coins, but if you&#039;re going to turn a coin into art, common Lincoln cents aren&#039;t the worst victims.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
