[QUOTE="Co1ns, post: 4660003, member: 87765"]I think this is a bit poor given the context. OP posted in another thread for an ID and was attacked for not disclosing he was selling coins. Donna suggested he disclose it in further threads in the sake of transparency, and now he's attacked again for following that advice and being transparant. I've been auctioning off coins in 99c auctions and making a few bucks off it. After time scrubbing and ID'ing I'd definitely be better off taking another shift at work. It's not some take over the world money making operation, but a self-reinforcing hobby and learning experience. I haven't listed any of the three I've posted here seeking ID help, and don't plan on it as I like those coins. I also haven't shared any of the ones I have ID'd myself and I know I'm auctioning off, as that felt strange.* That's my perogative though. Though I don't think the OP should offer COA's on his ebay, pretending experience; if he's disclosing he might sell a coin when asking here for ID help, I don't see a problem. If you don't like it, don't help, but I don't feel there's any need to throw a bunch of negativity and abstract morality into what could of otherwise been an educational discussion for the whole community. Nice coin OP - whether your Grandkid inherits that, the money you make selling it, or a hobby coin business, you've done him well! *What I [I]have[/I] admittedly been doing is inserting thank you notes accompanied by a LRB into modern mint bag sales to spread the virus - sue me :D[/QUOTE]
