Well I mean if someone offered me an 1893S Morgan Dollar I would still buy it at the right price. It may be cleaned but it’s still definitely...
Fair enough. I guess I’ll leave it alone. In a way I’m relieved because I don’t have to go through all that anxiety and hassle of breaking it out...
Oh yeah I agree with that. I was mostly referring to Ancient coins. My LCS dealer told me years ago not to mess around with problem coins....
A brief recap for those who have no idea what I’m talking about: In 1957 an amateur archeologist named Guy Mellgren purportedly discovered a...
Are you including Ancients too? Because most Ancients have been cleaned at some point in time. They’re often found buried and have to be or no...
That’s awesome! I didn’t know I had a harder to find denarius of Sept Serv. That makes the good price even better ^_^.
I love how hefty they feel. They just feel like money lol.
It depends on how long you’re looking into the future. Back in the 1920s when silver was less than $1 an oz and gold was $20.67 an ounce they...
I got one of the ATB’s for my birthday last year and I love it :). It’s the Pictured Rocks, Michigan one. But it’s the burnished one not the...
Its not so much that I don’t like cleaned coins. I would be willing to buy a cleaned coin. It’s just that I want to know if it’s cleaned when I...
Yeah same here. There are only two coin shops nearby. One of them wasn’t even really a coin shop. Mostly just jewelry and bullion. They tried to...
Ive heard of coin doctors before (my old dealer had a $10 gold Turban Head with some repair work done) but I didn’t know they could even make a...
Nah nothing too exciting. It was my 2nd time going to his shop since I moved here and I’m just trying to build up a relationship since I noticed...
Actually I collect US coins too. My most recent being an F12 1799 Draped Bust Dollar. But so far both my Ancients & US coins are all graded by...
Lol he wasn’t implying actually melting cleaned coins down. He just meant that that’s there is no way to put the “film” back on a cleaned coin...
Well not me since I didn’t say it. It’s something my LCS owner told me and I just moved to a new city so I don’t really know if he’s one of those...
I was at my LCS today and the owner and I were discussing improperly cleaned coins. He told me recognizing cleaned coins can be difficult at...
Ah ok yup that’s definitely the one I was thinking of. I get the smaller denominations mixed up sometimes. I was originally thinking it was half...
Hmm maybe you’re right and I’m thinking about the half disme or the 3 cent silver piece. The silver 3 cent piece is tiny right? I imagine it...
1). Why isn’t it appropriate for a one per Emperor set? It’s still a denarius of Septimius Severus. 2). Yes. If an XF coin is mistakenly over...
