<p>[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 1928580, member: 32619"]Well, see you've taken your knowledge of silver composition in the series of coins your interested in - in this case Swiss - and determined the melt value of those coins and shopped/spent accordingly. We're all saying the same thing here - do your own due diligence/do your homework - before spending the money. In your case, if all the coins were harshly cleaned, you would have still been ok because you shopped and spent based on the melt value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now we have the novice collector who finds that shiny raw Trade dollar, who buys it for $100 then asks for grade and worth, after the money is spent and sometimes even before it arrives in their possession. Some people seem to have more money then sense...we've all seen that guy. My understanding of the OP was to caution such a buyer to avoid that shiny raw example and opt for a graded one, in that case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
