<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 2716144, member: 75641&quot;]Well I heard of the concerns too.&nbsp; I have never tried to scrape my coins to see if it is sand added or paint (God, I really hope not).&nbsp; I&#039;ve bought some silver coins from him with no concerns.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I dunno.&nbsp; Maybe I am naive.&nbsp; When a friend warned me about his suspicions I did soak a coin in water and then alcohol to see if anything came off of the coin.&nbsp; Mind you I know that I am only buying $10 AE&#039;s in many cases.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t like to be deceived either.&nbsp; After soaking the coins overnight in each I saw no change or smudging when I took the test coin out of the liquids.&nbsp; So maybe I&#039;m doing it wrong or maybe it is okay now.&nbsp; I dunno.&nbsp; But I&#039;ve bought about forty coins there and figured I owed it to myself to test the most recent.&nbsp; All within the last four years of ancient collecting.&nbsp; I admit to being relieved when there was no change.&nbsp; But I wasn&#039;t anxious to go testing every coin either.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I feel weird.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
