<p>[QUOTE="WalkingLiberty1212, post: 2028052, member: 72879"]I am new to Coin collecting and have currently been buying graded slabs because I am nervous to buying raw coins online. I have read other threads on this site and have been trying to get a better idea for how to identify a polished/cleaned coin. Unfortunately I do not have a local dealer I can go to (at least within reasonable distance)and get some help. So at this time I am stuck to looking at pictures online and reading books. I am interested in acquiring a few seated liberty quarters and half dollars and would like to post a picture of a specimen as I am having a hard time distinguishing if coins from this area have been cleaned or not. Pictures of other cleaned coins and a description how to identify them would be very helpful as well!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]368645[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking and I appreciate any help[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
