<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 3048628, member: 34882&quot;]How exactly would cleaning the coin &#039;destroy most of the 90% silver the coin is made-up-from&#039;? The surfaces are ruined yes but the coins still .900 silver and it&#039;s why junk silver is valuable and frequently bought and sold to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the appearance of the coin if you can recognize a cleaned coin than you should know what a cleaned coin looks like which is unnatural and because the mint luster is destroyed they often look &#039;off&#039;. Both those coins are typical examples of a cleaned coin and neither coin imo is fake. Ones an example of a coin that&#039;s been scrubbed to death and the other is a coin that received a less harsh but still unacceptable cleaning and it&#039;s why they&#039;re likely being sold as &#039;junk&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
