[QUOTE="clembo, post: 281582, member: 8033"]Bzcollector and Coleguy both had good points. Tons of bust halves have been cleaned. A nice darker grey coin is the way to go for circulated if unslabbed. These coins will sit in shops for a long time as Guy noted. My dealer is so disorganized at times. I was sorting through a box of stuff at his store one day and found a SHARP 1813 with strong die clashes. Positive it's original and should EASILY grade AU53 or better. He put it in his case for $600. It sat for about six months (I watch this at his shop) and asked him lowest amount he'd take. Walked away with a beauty for $425. For $200 or so you can really pick up a nice example if you're patient.[/QUOTE]
