<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3210018, member: 15199&quot;]Welcome to the forum.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; No, it is not in the condition it left the mint, you received it from some source and you mention it was dirty, so it had circulated and had environmental exposure. Using an eraser is not useful as 99.99 % have an abrasive additive to it of some kind. Some vinyl eraser don&#039;t , but they will leave scratches by the dirt that adheres to it. A grader or someone knowledgeable about grading will notice it has been altered, so not good. Silver coins can be chemically cleaned without visible damaging if done properly. Damage loss is usually determined by the degree of the damage and may be close to</p><p>100% for common coins. I would be honest and just say damaged and expect a reasonable price for the condition. </p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
