A while ago I posted about a teller who had purchased some silver dollars from a customer at a buck each. I have been waiting for her to bring a few in for me to check out. Yesterday she tells me she forgot to gather them up from the back porch. I say, what are they doing on the back porch? She says she put them out to dry off..."I cleaned them all with Comet cleanser to make them shiny again" :shock: :? :cry:

*sigh*

Hope they're just a bunch of '21
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. What a shame. Oh, well, it's still silver, right?

And when you sell them on Realcent in Buy It Now, I hope you will appropriately entitle the thread as "Comet Coins!"

Well look on the bright side.....if they are rare coins, you can pretty much tell her the bad news.
