<p>[QUOTE="AnemicOak, post: 124512, member: 5224"]I hear what you're saying & I think I agree with it. I guess I'm just a little gun shy about getting nailed with some cleaned stuff, because I just got a couple Buffalo's that were apparently cleaned. At the same time I suppose the only way to learn is to screw up a few times. I don't plan on buying any real expensive stuff anytime soon, but can't find any real good instruction anywhere on avoiding cleaned stuff. Every time I read something someone will mention it's cleaned, but don't seem to indicate why/how they're able to tell, what they see that gives it away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess you could say I'm becoming obsessed with not getting cleaned coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW I was browsing (not buying) eBay earlier.
