Would you consider buying the one in post #40 if you were looking for a nice 64 in AU? I know the seller told me he paid $140 and he was duped...
I'm assuming you're talking about the lighter one. The darker one has been cleaned and I'm thinking that it was not harshly cleaned, but I don't...
No comments on whether the coins are cleaned or not? I am particularly interested in opinions on the lighter 64. The seller claims they have been...
Take a closer look at the photo and then the photos I posted above. It is 100% an 1871 due to the fact that the date is curved and not straight....
You typically take your coins to a good dealer and they can tell you approximately what they are worth. The dealer can send them out to be slabbed...
Totally true in 99.9% of the time. I didn't mind working most of the time, but it sure wasn't that much fun. Collecting is an enjoyable hobby, but...
Fair enough, but would you or any of the other experts consider this coin as harshly cleaned? It has some wear and I'm thinking it would put it in...

[ATTACH] I suggest you study very hard in school and go to Harvard Law School. Become a lawyer for a few years and then run for office and...
I ate them all! As far as any collectable you may be lucky enough to make a profit at one time or another, but over all there are much better...

[ATTACH] Here is another two center that I think is cleaned, but I am not experienced enough to know for sure. My reasons for thinking it is...
I think you have to be careful and do your research as much as possible so you don't get burned. At least you got close to what you thought you...
Well, I didn't think I was all that handsome, but I was walking down the sidewalk minding my own business and I overhead some girls saying nice...
You are most assuredly correct. However, it's difficult not to want a bargain once in a while. I think I did pretty well today on another antique...
Good looking? You mean the coins, right? ;)
Just a little side note. In the coin above the seller was selling an 1864 small motto with a starting price of $225 which would be a great price...
Once again you make a lot of sense and I thank you.
Sounds like there are lots of things to look for. I can tell pretty clearly on some coins, but some i am still pretty iffy as in the one above....
I was looking at the tiny debris on the upper left like little specs of verdigris or something. Anyways, how do I learn to spot a cleaned coin...
