<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 325104, member: 4367&quot;]A potential seller always says the coin is genuine and uncleaned, and the potential buyer always says it been cleaned and points out other faults.&nbsp; It all depends on how you look at coins here, either as a buyer or as a seller on this or any other coin forum.&nbsp; There was a thread here which discussed this coin collector/dealer/seller human dynamic behavior in the recent past.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, the only (Bust) coins I can afford are the inexpensive cleaned ones, maybe like this example.&nbsp;&nbsp; One which could go either way.&nbsp; When I get it home and remove it from the slab or flip I&#039;ll make the determination if it&#039;s infact been cleaned or not.&nbsp; Easy as that.&nbsp; I&#039;ll also assign the coin a grade and add it to my BLUE COLLAR BUST HALF DOLLAR COLLECTION (where each coin was purchased for $100 or less), quite a job too.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as a Top Three TPG Certified Uncleaned MS+ coin, HAHAHAHA... You won&#039;t see me or most of the the other Bust Coinage collectors here drop anything over $3000-$5000 for a coin and a hearty HELL-NO when a Bust Coin has a $90,000 price tag attached.&nbsp; If that&#039;s how you make your living it&#039;s gotta be hard to turn something like that but the profit margin has gotta be large.</p><p><br /></p><p>But ya&#039; gotta understand many of us Bust Coin collectors are pure collectors and aren&#039;t that concerned about the grade a coin receives from a TPG or an IHOP for that matter...</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
