<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 204421, member: 5233&quot;]You know, for as much attention this thread has been getting...I think there was one critical piece of information missing.&nbsp; I know it is a terrible sin to clean coins, and it is something that should never be done (with a very few minor exceptions). However, what I am wondering is...how large was this lot of proofs that you purchased?</p><p><br /></p><p>The point being, if the lot was large enough, perhaps paying $70 wasn&#039;t that bad for the dealer.&nbsp; He clearly knew what was done to the coins and with any experience...would know what that means.&nbsp; But, if the lot was large enough maybe there is a potential profit there for the dealer.&nbsp; There was a 2001-S in there, even a cleaned example I would think could fetch $25-$30 or so.&nbsp; So, the dealer would then be half way to breaking even.&nbsp; Lets hypothetically say the lot was 10 coins...if the dealer got $30 for the cleaned 2001-S and $5 each for the other 9...thats $75, so a minor profit.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, these prices don&#039;t seem too crazy (but then again, I&quot;m not a Sac expert).&nbsp; I think knowing the size of the lot (and what coins were there) are important to determining if the dealer made a mistake or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again, maybe the lot size was posted...and I missed it.&nbsp; :goofer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
