SilverSurfer, why are you trying to get into an argument in a thread where I posted some coins I just purchased? People like you are why I don't...

SilverSurfer, I am not sure what you are asking. No, I don't buy cleaned coins. Rubbing with soap and water... yeah, I would consider that...

I think you're talking about the 1896-O, 1900-O, and 1902-O micro 'o'. PCGS article here.
