<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 486081, member: 16060&quot;]Back a few years ago I did something really special for one of my neighbor&#039;s son.&nbsp; His dad found out from my wife I was Collecting American Silver Eagles.&nbsp; He bought one I presume from ebay.&nbsp; His son gave me the coin for Christmas and the card told me how he shined it to make it even shinier that it was.&nbsp; I still have the coin.&nbsp; It is so shiny I use it for a night light, it glows.&nbsp; I never had the heart to tell him or his dad how he had ruined the coin.&nbsp; But you are right, if friends and relatives are not collectors it is better for them to avoid.&nbsp; The other night if they were telling the truth HSN sold 2500 gold plated state quarters sets in 2 hours.&nbsp; I wonder how many non-collectors are getting gold plated state quarters this year for Christmas.&nbsp; I did get a Buffalo Nickel 1917 (D or S, I&#039;m not where I can look) for Christmas from my wife.&nbsp; She was gracious enough to allow me to pick it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
