    From where do your coins come?

    I handle a lot of coins not knowing where they might have been on their journey to me. I can live with that by washing my hands often. But, is this guy kidding? Who knows how many butts have seen these coins? Would you buy this puppy and how much would you pay for it? Make the question harder: what coin would have to be encased for you to want to buy it?

    Lol, believe it or not, I'd really like one of those, wonder what he's asking.

    Don't get me wrong "slightly broken toilet seat" isn't a a phrase that gets me too revved up.

      The ad says $175. What he'll take, I don't know. If you want to put in an offer Chris, let me know and I'll make it for you. Or, you can go to craigslist south florida and "handle" it yourself.

        I'd be willing to pay $100 and $25 to you for shipping... if that's worth it to you. AND as long as the "slightly broken" part is repairable.

          I'll skip the $25 and have him ship it to you directly. I will contact him/her. I assume it's a "him".

            Buying a used toilet seat....something about that kind of disgusts me.
