<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1167407, member: 26302"]Looks good enough to me, and I do collect these. The slickness on the surface can be from the method the coin was cleaned. Some sellers clean them in rock cleaners with plastic balls. While this can clean them cheaply, it will also remove surface metal and make them extra slick to the touch. I try to not buy coins cleaned that way, but I have seen many and yours looks like that. There are one or two sellers on Ebay that sell coins just like this, nice people that I have met but I don't buy their coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
