<p>[QUOTE=&quot;croesus_amok, post: 25096073, member: 151299&quot;]OK - I have been sniping auctions on eBay for decent but low-priced peace dollars that I can stick in an album. I have bought most for around $25 which is probably not a lot more than I could get them from a local shop or even a bullion dealer. I broke my rules on this one and am not sure how to evaluate how I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid $64 plus shipping for this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1602617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1602618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1602616[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It has no luster. I was hoping for low MS but it seems, in hand, an AU at best. My question is: does the lack of luster mean that it was cleaned? Are there other indications it is cleaned?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also wondering if the mint mark is legit. It looks like it may be punched in. Here is a close-up:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1602620[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is cleaned, I&#039;ll just stick it in my album and move on.
