<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2500143, member: 71723"]Wasn't the issue du jour when the "sniffer" debuted the use of something called "putty" being applied to coins to mask flaws? I seem to remember Laura Sperber ranting uncontrollably on "another site" about it. I recall the term "dreck" being bandied about repeatedly. Of course, it's easier to just do what Laura wants, rather than try to talk to her about things, so sniffing became the thing. By the way, I am just having a little fun at Laura's expense here, delicate wallflower that she is. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I sniffed a few coins. Mostly, they just smelled like "old". I had to be careful with the gold Canadian 25 cent gold coins.
