    When I was a dealer, I cut my hand a couple of times on the piece that locks the glass lid to the case. I guess it's an occupational hazard.

    Are you unvaxxed or are you non-unvaxxed? :)

    Well, to make things worse, I didn’t catch a cold but tested positive for COVID, and my wife thinks I may have got it being contacted at the coin show. So I’m in the basement in isolation for a few days and have time to look at coins.

    For the record, the coin I was looking where I got KOed was a 1829 Bust Half in AU, but looked overly cleaned to be certified as a details coin.

    Well if you’re non-unvaxxed like you’re supposed to be you shouldn’t get COVID so it has to be something else unless if you’re not current on your booster jabs, or so I understand. Just don’t take any horse-dewormer. I can, but then I’m a horse.

    So much for boosters I have been non-unvaccinated. Well at least in isolation I can look at what coins I may want to pursue.

    Boosters don't protect you from getting Covid, just with luck, from dying from it.

    Those case tops can do some damage. Seen a few folks get their fingers smashed.

    Good to know. I will keep my fingers out of those cases.
