<p>[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 3041444, member: 76965"]I think the European auction houses still do not point out scratches and cleaning. I noticed that with Roma and also Elsen. Was just looking at a French coin listed by Elsen which was very badly scratched on the reverse and some scratches on the obverse but described as About Very Fine with no mention of the scratches. It could be disastrous for a beginner. I find it much safer to buy slabbed coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
