Cleaning Coins, whats the big deal?

Ricks right if you want a clean coin just buy one and save yourself the time and money.

chances are someone else either bid over bullion or already or someone will snipe it anyway. i let an MS66 FT roo go for $11 the other day becuase i always lose to that mystery high bid ( and it wasnt quite what i wanted so i didnt want to spend the $11 anyway )

 

skrilla,

Nope. I tracked the sale of a couple where the final price was below bullion value. Tragic. I almost bid the bullion value minus shipping on one, but didn't. I would have won. But maybe winning would have been losing.

 

no, i mean the final bid isnt necessarily a person's max bid. they may have bid another $50 but you will never know unless you outbid them.

 

I always wondered how many dealers on e-bay have their lowest acceptable bid listed under another computer/name as a phony high bid.

 

skrilla - You're probably right.

 

still, it looks like you made the right decision

 

One thing about it, you can ALWAYS go ahead and clean a coin, but you can't un-clean it. Who needs a coin to be shiny anyway? Especially at the cost of damaging it.

 

I've been thinking some more about this, Illya. When I use the coin laundry, the coins come out all wet. If your coins are spinning around and getting hot, I think you're using the Artificial Toning machine.
