<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1709282, member: 26302&quot;]OP, not trying to pile on, but I agree with others on this thread. Do not EVER have anyone &quot;clean up&quot; a coin. I don&#039;t care if this was a junk morgan dollar. By polishing it you just removed money out of your pocket. Also, by &quot;polishing it up&quot; you just abrogated the sellers obligation to refund your money. It doesn&#039;t MATTER why you bought the coin, you just DESTROYED it if in fact it had been a real coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point, consider yourself lucky if the seller refunds your money. Yes, I believe its a fake, however by allowing it to be polished you just destroyed that item. By doing so, you have technically let the seller off the hook. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s ignore the fact this most likely is a fake. Lets say you bought two junk morgans, and polished one up. I GUARANTEE you that:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The polished coin is now of no interest to any collector</p><p>2. You just lost money because now your polished POS is worth LESS than melt</p><p>3. The seller will not EVER accept a return on a coin you have destroyed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, not picking on you OP. I am reiterating this so everyone else reading this will not follow your example. </p><p><br /></p><p>BOTTOM LINE: If you allow anyone to &quot;polish up&quot; a coin, ANY COIN, ANY TIME, for ANY REASON, you just destroyed that coin. DESTROYED IT. No coin is &quot;better&quot; polished than not. NONE. EVER.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of us do know how to properly conserve a coin, but you don&#039;t, and definitely the retards at that jewelry store don&#039;t. If that coin had been real, it should be a criminal act what they did. If it had been real, they would have cost you HUNDREDS of dollars in destroyed value. If you are ever in doubt what to do with a coin, LEAVE IT ALONE![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
