Does &quot;all raw coins&quot; include all current circulating coins? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>We all know that uninformed people have a natural tendency to &quot;shine up&quot; tarnished metal of any sort. We also know that, in the past, even coin collectors thought coins should be cleaned. That naturally leads to a large population of cleaned coins. We&#039;ve all seen other kinds of damage, too -- rim hits, scratches, and so forth. I&#039;m sure that <i>some</i> of that damage is from improper storage, but it seems like that would be a tiny minority.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to see a more detailed presentation of the &quot;80%&quot; figure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
