<p>[QUOTE="Tusky Ranger, post: 7619892, member: 105500"]I stopped buying raw coins after I bought an 1883-S. It was my first fairly pricey purchase and I decided to have it graded (cuz the seller seemed "shady" to me) and it came back as a "Unc details - cleaned". The seller is on both Etsy, USA Coin Book & probably Ebay. Luckily this was early on, and since then I've always bought a graded coin (and then removed it) from a TPG (PCGS,NGC,ANACS,ICG). As I neared the end (with the priciest examples) I started keeping them in the slabs as I then decided I wanted a graded set. I've sent 40 coins to ICG (not looking to start TPG wars lol) basically because of price and I have no intention of parting with the collection (I'll probably physically depart with it in the end lol). I re-bought some of my first purchases with higher grade coins rather than send them in; like an 1889, 1890, etc...they are cheap enough. Anywho...I did bring the "cleaned" coin to a local dealer and everyone is shop disagreed with the grade. Good luck with your collecting/grading. At some point I'll start looking for an 1893-S...I really need to research this one; it scares me to death with so many fakes out there! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
