<p>[QUOTE="bwhiteside59, post: 1351275, member: 32355"]Several years ago I bought about 6 "original bank rolls" on Ebay in the brown wrapper. Turns out most have been cleaned (whizzed). I am not completely upset to find this out as when I bought them silver melt was about half what it is right now. However, I think this means at some point someone took them out and cleaned them and put them back in the roll. A cleaned modern coin is hard to get graded. In addition to whizzing I bet they were dipped also. My only disappointment is that I spent so much money buying Lighthouse rounds to house them before I found out they had been cleaned. Oh well, live and learn; everytime I stay out of the hobby without communication like with this website (which is the best for the hobby) or being member of a local club this stuff happens so I can't complain much "LOL".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
