Not to beat a dead horse Jim, but my opinion on cleaning coins refers to average crh'd silver and (dug) coins. I agree 100% on not cleaning anything gold or high-end silver.jim4silver said:fistfulladirt said:Collectors with a fetish regarding cleaned coins.
I used to feel like you on this FFD, but sometime you should take a legitimate MS quality old US silver dollar (that has not toned) or US gold coin and compare them to "cleaned" ones of the same type. Hold them under a good light source and move the coin around and you will see the difference. The original surface reflects the light in a very dazzling sort of way and the "cleaned" coin's surface will look kind of "dead", even though the coin itself might appear "shiny". Once you have seen this you will not look at "cleaned" coins the same.

2. Old lady tellers that get upset when another teller sells you their rolls and yells "I haven't looked through those yet"
3. $7.50/box fees even for pennies
4. Marked Coins
Those are a few of mine....

Ohhhh and people who dig up posts from a year ago or reply to a post with just a " " to get their post count up....

It's ok for someone to talk about their beliefs about silver prices and fiat currencies. That is somewhat pertinent. But the constant bitching, complaining, fear mongering, and general conspiracy theorizing is getting ridiculous. You can hardly go into a thread out here in this forum without it turning into a soapbox for certain members touting their belief systems. There was a thread just today where a guy simply said that he was going to have to quit coin roll hunting because he was taking a part time job. The thread turned into the typical political soap box. The guy finally had to ask everyone to "chill out" and stop ruining his thread with their rants (that's my interpretation of his response). If you want to start your own thread and rant then I guess I can always ignore it. But when it permeates just about every thread out here I can't escape it. And when you are taking over other people's threads with your constant bitching then you aren't being respectful of others. Especially if it is so bad that they have to ask you to stop.
Oh yeah, and another pet peeve is folks who can't admit they've made a mistake despite the fact that they are operating under the cloak of anonymity that is provided by the Internet. But that is a general pet peeve and not specifically related to this forum.

I had to go back to that post that you mentioned espoused "fear mongering", "conspiracies", "politics", "rants",etc.
To me the subject just happened to naturely go off track a bit from coin roll hunting. That happens sometimes and in my opinion is no big deal.
I enjoy pretty much all of the posts here. Once in a great while someone will post something that doesn't interest me.I just go on to the next post.
