<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 614233, member: 15110&quot;]Many old coins received wear and have no grime on them.&nbsp; My dealer has tons of large cents EF or so that look like this.&nbsp; Estimates are that some 80% of raw coins have been cleaned at one point in their lifetime.&nbsp; Question is what do they look like now after their patina comes back.&nbsp; I again reassert my position that the cleaned responses would have been different if I showed the after images (without Blue Ribbon) and said &quot;grade this coin&quot;.&nbsp; I won&#039;t submit this coin as is.&nbsp; I will tone down in sulfur flip.&nbsp; Idhair- I am not that worried if it grades, though I am confident it will.&nbsp; It looked ugly to me before.&nbsp; First coin I ever submitted actually.&nbsp;&nbsp; I will give it several months in a sulfur flip (old one) unoiled.&nbsp; I suggest people do a search on the NGC boards (Collectors Society) if you disagree with this technique.&nbsp; Thanks to others for complements- especially eddiespin- didn&#039;t expect that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
