<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 188858, member: 7248&quot;]another thing that may help&nbsp; is to go to sites that sell anacs detailed doins....lots of&nbsp; coins to look at that have been cleaned. look&nbsp; also at photos of obviously cleaned coins so that you can become accustomed to seeing blatant telltale signs..whizzing.ect. the more you see, the more comfortable you&#039;ll become. i personally, try to avoid&nbsp; any cleaned coin.&nbsp; however, since i collect morgans, i probably have&nbsp; at least one or more that could have been dipped 80 yrs ago or sooner.&nbsp; on copper coins, the early american collectors used to post cleaning tips&nbsp; in the collector journals.&nbsp; cleaning didn&#039;t seem to have the same stigma as now. when the economite treasure was found in 1878, they set about scrubbing and removing tarnish from the coins.&nbsp; some&nbsp; early pieces (1797 dollars ,halves&nbsp; and such) were even&nbsp; subjected to it before someone evidently realized the value of what was there.&nbsp; sorry, a little off tangent but just stating, a lot of cleaning has been done over the years. certainly can&#039;t catch it all, but can develop an eye for things that just don&#039;t look right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
