<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buckeye73, post: 3472847, member: 93155&quot;]One of the first considerations for a new coin collector is identifying ‘problem coins’.&nbsp; These are coins which have a reduced value as a result of cleaning as is the case for the subject coin, but also excessive scratches, rim digs, corrosion, etc..</p><p>Coins with essentially no problem surfaces or properly conserved (not cleaned) surfaces actually command a premium to&nbsp; listed technical&nbsp; grade values.&nbsp; Early half cents and large cents (pre 1858) are prime examples of this. </p><p>Coin collecting is a constant learning experience for all of us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
