<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 2187517, member: 29452&quot;]Back in March I bought this 1812 CBH at the Baltimore Whitman Coin Expo.&nbsp; Thinking I bought it from a reputable dealer.&nbsp; The story is quite bizarre actually.&nbsp; I went to what I thought was Angel Dees booth.&nbsp; When I arrived I saw an elderly woman standing behind the display cases, right underneath the Angel Dees sign.&nbsp; Naturally I assumed she was with A.D.&nbsp; I looked around for awhile and they had a very nice selection of coins, a few key dates and other assorted small denominational coins.&nbsp; I mentioned I was looking for an 1812 1/2 and an elderly gentleman, by this time had joined in our conversation with what I assumed was his wife, about coins.&nbsp; He showed me this 1812 and boy he was sure proud of it or so it seemed.&nbsp; He sold it to me as an XF and I mentioned I would probably get it graded.&nbsp; He told me it would for sure grade XF and he&#039;d be surprised if it were much lower.&nbsp;&nbsp; ( Turns out this was not Angel Dee&#039;s who sold me the coin ) </p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward a month and I send it in to NGC through an LCS.&nbsp; Before I send out any coin to grade through them the guy at the coin shop will offer his advice on the grade and whether or not to send it in.&nbsp; He was all for finding out the grade, a little dark for his taste but a nice coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well here are the results.&nbsp; If cleaned what are we missing?&nbsp; He says I should send it in for regrade.&nbsp; Other collectors I showed it too can&#039;t see any evidence of cleaning.&nbsp; What are we missing if cleaned?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
