<p>[QUOTE="Pennycase, post: 16678, member: 1141"]Well, it all really depends on what they are willing to pay for it, but, myself, I wouldn't take any offers less than an AU price, because as you say, it has ms-63 details, it has just been altered. I think in most cases, people who sale high grade coins that have been cleaned or altered, set the price back at least by one grade, at the least. I was at my local coin shop one day, and was skimming through a book, found a VERY nice unc walking liberty half, further inspection concluded it had a big thumb print on it, that my dealer hadn't noticed, I told him, and the price jumped from 70.00, to 40.00, which is a considerable price decrease, needless to say I gave him 60 bucks for it, just because the details were oh so amazing on this coin, and I could simply just look away from the thumb print, but, ever getting my money back on this coin will only happen when I'm 80.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
