What a colossal waste of time and money. There is no gain by doing this what-so-ever, and nobody will ever be able to convince me otherwise. Nothing good will come of this for you either.

this is how I feel about going back and editing posts to dots, Joe, just how I feel.

I only have a problem when people go back and edit the post. Go ahead and post original dots all you want.



Just don't do the unthinkable..... which would be to go back and edit your dots and replace the dots with three dots. Replacing dots with dots, now that's a thoughts.

Here's my opinion on spraypainting coins; there were so many clad half dollars minted from 1971 to 2001 that if everyone on this forum were to spraypaint thousands of them, it wouldn't even scratch the surface. The coin counting and wrapping machines at cash vaults instill more damage than paint could ever do. It's a cool, fun way to track how your coins move around. If anything we're doing future collectors a favor. It provides a cost effective, fun colored preservative.

Fun colored unless you use silver or chrome spray. Then it's the opposite of fun.

"fun way to track how your coins move around" HUH? All you know is you got them back. end of story. what good does that do? I'm glad they didnt do this years ago, I sure would be pissed if every time I found a mercury dime it was spray painted neon orange because someone 70 years ago thought it would be "fun" and "be doing future collectors a favor." You know how many times I have found a nice coin that is holed, or stamped, or mutilated in some fashion and now worth a fraction of what it should be? Short sighted thinking IMO. But hey, all the time you spend laying them out, painting them, sorting them and whatever else you do with them is less time you are hunting, bettering the chance for myself and the rest of your competition has for finding silver - so by all means have at it.

not again. It never ceases to amaze me how people think that marking their coins actually helped, especially in a huge circulation zone like California. whatever floats your boat.

I had a dump bank almost turn away my deposit once because the bag was full of so many painted halves that some child in an adult's body had painted. How's that for a reason to not paint them? Grow up, little tykes, & have a little consideration for others.

. . . Anyone else care to comment on why it's cool to deface coins ?

It's for the attention. (If it was for any legitimate reason, there would be no reason for such a public demonstration of it.)
You can't reason with the insane or the mega-egotistical. Both believe that they are the exception to reality.

My kids outgrew begging for attention by the age of 6.

Guys, guys all this talk about "collection". Like you're going to have a future clad collection.... Well, I hate to break it to you, but there is such a thing as anti-cladder. Once anti-cladder comes into contact with clad, it'll be the end of it. We'll either switch back to silver or switch to stainless.
