commoncents13 Valued Member Canada 248 Posts	Posted 04/25/2011 02:33 am Nice cat -IKD- looks kinda guilty to me, maybe just a little tinkle! There's some strong acids in urine! ---That might explain why it was just some on the surface, but I'll say, could be allot of things so not to raise some fur. I just couldn't be right.

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 04/25/2011 2:21 pm ph of cat urine is 6.0-6.5 in ahealthy animal. That is strong enough to cause pitting in copper if left unteated and prevent the formation of the nice patina we see on these coins. Given a choice that this toning was caused by a gas or a liquid, I'd tend to think gas. Of course I wasn't there, so they might have painted by elves for all I can prove.

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 04/25/2011 4:03 pm You seem to think it's a "contest" rather than a discussion when someone says anything marginally different from you CC. I don't mind you or anyone else having an alternate opinion on anything. If you have something you feel you need to say, I suggest you send me an email as opposed to making random "contest" comments here in various threads. Report this Post to the Staff
commoncents13 Valued Member Canada 248 Posts	Posted 04/26/2011 7:02 pm -Ugly- Why would you chose to publicly ask me to Email you if I had any question to pose you, I have none! ---You could have simply Emailed that to me, if with good intent! ---I resent your implication toward my posts and others as a "contest"! I do my best towards all.("No contest") ---Your post kinda putts me on the spot to defend my integrity that's not something I signed up for on this forum, to have to do and in a sense challenges me to not question you, to quiet me. I see the psychology in your post. ---I am not randomly posting "contest" comments, I simply posted a thought and impression I got from your last reply! My opinion! ---This is a forum were opinions are discussed about topics. ---A "contest"! well there is "No contest", you do have more knowledge about coins in general than myself admittedly (my guess is you like to hear that) but I do have some myself, maybe not all right but have an opinion, I try to have some fun at the same time and will learn if wrong but don't expect me to be a yes man to your every word and to concede always. ---You once challenged me to dis-prove one of your working theories. (Sounds like a contest!)I would think a leader if that would want to prove themselves wright for respect and credibility. ---History can prove that it is you that tends to have the last word on most everything I say and is always opposing (I don't care)so it appears that it is you, that may have a problem, maybe it's you that needs to win a "contest". So again I say "No contest" for me, you win! ---I was done with this thread, we had our fun with Cat banter. ---Puzzling but maybe not! you advertise a "contest" all of the time with your every posted note, so appears you like a "contest" and is fine! ---Yet you make an unsubstantiated / outrages implication and point that finger at me and my interaction with others! ---Speak for yourself.
